ConsUmerism. CommercialiSm. MateriAlism.

Merry Christmas. "It is better to give than to receive". We say that, but then why do we expect presents? How greedy does it sound that we make this list? Not only that, but it's just like, "buy me these". No surprises or anything. I've decided to not ask for anything for Christmas this year. I could care less if I get anything in all honesty, but if I do, what a great surprise!

Okay. Done making you feel guilty. Are you ready for an insight of me again? Don't ask me to explain, just read.

I am in a storm.
A storm that I know that may never end.
Friends, shelter, and hope may be utterly destroyed.
And happiness may be void.
But to give up now, would be,
to let all that I live for, deplete.
How am I to stand firm,
if I have nothing to stand on?
This end. Your way. No sense. Cry.
Break again this shattered pieces of clay.
Not yesterday, nor tomorrow, but today.
Words gone. Thoughts crumpled. Strength sucked dry.
I have the power to make things as I may.
But powerless is how I choose to remain.

Shalom.
