Get over it!

Get over it
Get over it like hover?
Like be outside your body and just look at this thing called your life
and your passion.


"Oh, just get over it"
Like a hill,
I will muster all my might and run like hell
Speeding past the hill and to the other side..................................................

I never stopped to graze or look when I got on top and then over, that hill.


Get over it. To me,
means someone else is asking me to have some sort of disorienting, out-of-body experience.
That I just get out of my experience and get over it so I can see it clearly, from all the angles?

 I say getting into it is more fun.
Like getting into whatever you do, throwing yourself at it like a zebra in full tilt when there is a lion on their ass.
I am saying I want to get into trouble. To get into myself and lie comfortably,
skin and organs folded over my emotions and experience.

I want to live depthfully -in a sea of my own experience and live the stories of others, eyes clothes heart wrapped in the tidings of their confidence.

I said it before and I will say it again.
I am not here to change the world
I am here to get into it, to hear it, to feel it.
Change is inevitable and it will come with or without my foot
 touching the proverbial puddle to
 make some ripples.

So when you tell me to get over it.
Like I am some canopy
shading myself from the reality of life.
I tell you that you cannot live over it.


Your life is not a party in which you are the wise man lofted above it all.

Or perhaps you live in a loft and are considered wise.

I don't think you got that way by getting over it.
Or surviving it. You got through,
extracted all you could in the maelstrom,
 found yourself on the other side,


 in a loft...being wise.

  1. This definitely picks up and builds momentum as it goes. 2nd half > 1st half. But, in some ways you need that 1st half to build towards the 2nd half. Good to see a different style!
