The Edit

Just like these corrections made on these pages I flip through, I edit this life...trimming off the loose ends, eliminating the weak friends, who only want to use you. I don't need to express every detail, but just like these words and phrase I skim through I take careful consideration to every trial and glory. Were you apart of the journey? Or did you just coast. Riding the coat tail waiting to float to the one you thought would save you. Just like I thought, a huge disappointment, and the cycle continues. When are you going to make sense of it all? Treat edits like cuts and rid yourself of them all. Rain clears out the past and then we forget it. Unless it was traumatic and who needs the extra. I don't, but you can have it.

Like the new phrases and paragraphs that strike the hand, like the poems I whisper to myself or new friends, its appreciated. Leaving them behind moves you ahead. Get rid of it...the run-ons, the parody, the ironies and let truth through. Can you expect great things when old habits consume you?

I love to play the role of the editor. Taking control over life like I control this script. If you can't play the part, I simply edit it. If you are not cut out, just consider yourself eliminated. And it goes with out saying. I do not suffer for it. Your loss I just gave it to you. I just put it in your face, gave you clarity...you claimed it and made it tangible.

So I encourage you to seek the opportunities to make the edits. Be the editor. You maybe surprised at the amount of peace you experience.

One Love!
