dont judge a book by its cover


Fast forward,stop, eject,rewind,stop,repeat
thoughts bouncing,leaping,racing for my attention
they cry out to me saying, me first,no me,me pick me
I shake my head to clear them, they hold fast
Crashing,stomping,wearing my brain into mush

Fast forward lights on, lights off, sound,silence,voices,nothing
I sit here and wait and pray i do not burst
The binds that hold my brain steady burst open
A cacophony of sound spills from my lips
Stop,rewind,take it back,i can't,you will, make me,ok

Fast forward, the crash, the fall, running, stinging, sad
Watching the clock until 2:25pm
Finally the day is over
Relax, sigh, thank you,its over, life, love, happy, free

In life there is no instant replay
Things get said that cant be taken back
People die and cant come back
In life there is no cut and action
No second chance to do things right
So do it right as you can

In life there is no pause

The world will never have lasting peace so long as men reserve for war the finest human qualities. Peace, no less than war, requires idealism and self-sacrifice and a righteous and dynamic faith.<br /> -John Foster Dulles

Perfect, this poem is so touching and has a strong meaning.
