She's Still Going Strong
PAT BENETAR
There aren’t any instructions on how to navigate this world, so it’s all too easy to get nervous when
We find something new that doesn’t go well and we realize that precious time has been lost and there’s
Nothing we can do with what’s left, but fight it out to see what can be salvaged for another bout of
Living amongst the human race where the concept of the good life is sadly just out of reach for most.
The biggest problem with our world is there are too many heartbreakers around every corner because
Not everyone has the answers for everyone and while looking for a stranger to provide a glimpse at a
Brighter tomorrow can work if you’re going to school, we regularly learn a little too late that we’ll lose
So many friends throughout the years we feel it’s easier being disconnected to avoid the pain of never
Seeing certain people again because we mastered the art of letting go and enjoying life from a distance.
Even if we have a few days where we feel all fired up and ready to go, such elation isn’t meant to last
Forever and once this rush subsides, all the anxiety from not being happy comes back to us with the
Intent of keeping those who already have emotional issues in a very sorry state of hoping to discover
Another way to appear normal because if you’re very unhappy with life, people say don’t let it show
Just in case no one wants prove the concept of finding sanctuary in a gentle soul is just a fool’s errand.
Many people try to deny that life isn’t quite as bad all the time because they found a little paradise in
Simple moments to find strength, however there will always come a time when the kingdom key will
Refuse to turn because some problem will be there to remind all the once invincible souls who had a
Constant, toxic smile across their faces that you can’t have it all unless you suffer tragedy with the joy.
Making friends can help during difficult times, yet it takes a lot of effort turning the temporary heroes
Into lifelong companions because a crazy world like this does everything to prevent monotony from
Taking over to give people a break from being brokenhearted after seeing others never falling into a
State of despair to exchange a few dirty little secrets to understand no one is meant to be perfect each
Moment of their lives and at this time, it’s human to feel glum and get help from someone who cares.
No matter how we grow up, when we entered this world, we were someone’s baby who knew nothing
About what life was and we need as much support as possible for tough times from brave souls who
Have to not only control their own lives, but be strong for new arrivals when the shadows of the night
Become monsters and we can’t help but cry for anyone to strengthen the ties that bind us through a
Great many years knowing the river of love will have several rapids meant to adjust our long course.
Sometimes, the past can haunt us, especially after finding pictures of a world gone due to the intense
Ravages of time where it’s been so long since certain joyous events have occurred that we can easily
Forget details in these times that we often question if everything was factual or forged from extensive
Walking in the underground portions of our minds where old memories wait to pounce when pleasant
Dreams are quickly tainted with dark thoughts because we can all become an evil genius during sleep.
Life is different for everyone, so take it any way you want it if things begin to make sense, but always
Keep on your guard about change because what one person might perceive as their next true love can
Turn into a nightmare for others if the feelings aren’t returned and crimes of passion are committed
To get enough attention, yet love is a battlefield with too many casualties from being unprepared for
The next long battle or spending too long a soldier that recognizing victory is practically impossible.
Sadly, religion is hard to believe at times and it really disturbs me because multiple people use it too
Much like a weapon with thoughts of judgement or the risk of ending up in purgatory for not having
Found the right path in life or found relief in some temptation that evokes a similar feeling of delight
To give rise to a false smile because religion is supposed to be about love and forgiveness, yet people
Aren’t afraid to point out hell is for children who aren’t raised according to the zealous who are often
Wary of those who are different and get angry whenever salvation is found through another method.
One problem I’ve seen with life is that some people like to play the victim to get all the attention to
Avoid taking responsibility for their actions and don’t care if they suffer the little children’s cries if the
Relief for them is gone because they pulled someone horrible out of the ruins they created and every
Tear from the bloodshot eyes of the innocent will never be wiped away as there is often nothing left
To comfort those in misfortune, so don’t walk away from those who need to feel the power of hope.
Most people don’t understand how I interpret life, but that’s because I’m a cerebral man who regularly
Thinks of strange things for comfort without many friends at my side and my one love for creating a
Series of dark poems using old artists that once gave strength to fans, so I feel lucky that I have this
Peculiar skill to help others who make a request for healing, but I won’t say this is an easy process.
A lot of my writing comes during the late night and my inner darkness serves as a silent partner in the
Dissection of a new discography that I say to the darkness hit me with your best shot to see if some
Ideas emerge from a prisoner of love gone wrong who only wants to make others happy or share the
Agony of feeling lost and wanting to know there are more just like me who need a friend to be strong.
In my dreams strange things can happen because my mind takes a while to fully shut down and some
Wild thoughts want to take center stage to convince me a painted desert landscape can turn into the
Real thing with all the heat if I allow myself to sink deeper and be wide awake in dreamland where all
Things are possible like moving so fast you can run between the raindrops and not get wet or if you
See a shooting star, it could sail across the night sky forever without burning up and being forgotten.
I know that you always have to behave your best in public, but can you be so sincere with those who
Try to spread misery to hide the fact they’re crying on the inside from not being able to live freely in
A world that demands perfection, only to be out of reach like we belong on the outside of paradise to
Keep the struggle going and I get evil must exist with good to provide the illusion of balance, yet if
You think I’m going to follow you into oblivion, then it proves that isolation has a few weird perks.
All I can say in the end is if you treat me right, I’ll be there for you when you’re feeling down, but my
Cynical nature remains because I’ve met too many people of fire and ice who have burned me just for
Fun with many false promises, so if you do this, then I don’t want to be your friend as it will only be
Another path to despair and every time I fall back into such a state, I wonder if I was ever meant for
Finding true happiness or I’m just crazy from trying understand what it means to be a human being.
Someone please tell me that I’m not wrong in thinking life is cruel and that the only way to build the
Brighter future is to make today as good as possible because I want out of this fog of isolation to be
Finally able to see this world is still good, so please don’t leave me with nothing but sweet memories
