Seek

Do I really seek truth?
It's so ugly and uncouth
Each time I strip away a lie
I watch beauty whither and die.

How often does a gorgeous facade
Conceal something most retched and odd?
How often is the sound of praise
Used to manipulate and to maze?

Do the beliefs I cling to for hope
Wrap around my neck in the form of a rope?
Is the reality I think I exist in
Held up by a cloth worn and paper thin?

Random QandA

I found this on one of my friend's blogs...thought it was interesting...here are my answers...

1. If you were to face the Wizard of Oz, would you want more courage, more brains, or more heart? More courage. With enough courage we could all use our hearts and minds to their full potential.

2. Have you ever gone to court for anything? What for? Once, and hopefully never again. I went there to establish a restraining order against my first boyfriend.

3. What was the last thing you did that you previously told yourself you wouldn't do? Oh dear, I really don't want to answer this one...get involved with someone on my swim team.

4. Did you ever have a summer fling while on vacation? No, but it's not too late...going to Hawaii soon. ;-)

5. Have you ever done anything sexual with someone who's name you never knew? Unfortunately yes. Being so impersonal really isn't my style...don't know why I did it.

Bonus (as in optional): What is the best way to mend a broken heart? Unfortunately for me and my heart...it's all about time. Time helps me forget the pain. It doesn't matter how much I bitch, moan, hate or contemplate...it just takes time and usually a lot of it, years.
