funny how

funny how I wrote and wrote and wrote this summer
but it has all but dwindled now
funny how we have all the comforts of home
but where is the excitement? the draw?
it's ok. one doesn't always have to live with constant drama, it's true
but just a little excitement now and then is good, too

drama now comes from within
but it's still being pretty quiet
and not that drama is a bad thing or a good thing
drama, in itself, is just... life, really, on steroids

I've learned a lot these past few weeks
but not as much as I learned in just one month this summer
is that a good thing or a bad thing?
sometimes it's very good to just sit still and recoup, regroup
as long as you do wake up now and then
and realize
that it could all get tossed with the fries
and nothing is always going to be perfect
and the toothpaste cap is going to get lost at some point
and you are going to get another dent in your car
and your kids are going to get a cough that lasts too long
and cavities because they really need to learn how to floss better
and you can take it all in stride
or you can condemn yourself
it's up to you
but i'm telling you, telling me, telling you
that it's not worth it
life isn't perfect
and the sooner you get used to it, the better
that your house the way it looks right now
is exactly how it is meant to look
and the clothes you are wearing now should be the clothes you wear to work
because this is who you are
and sure we all need to put on a show
but don't forget who you are underneath the show
and that's why it's always good to have some downtime
it may feel pointless and blah and bland
but it's letting you see and remember who you really are
so that you can bring that to the table
the next time you have to
put on a show.
