Random poem, but not mine

[seiberwing]

My mom sent me this a while back, and it cheered me up a good bit on account of I'd been feeling rather worthless and useless. It's by a Persian guy named Hafiz who lived in Persia during the 1300s, and I think it's pretty awesome.


Venus Just Asked Me

Perhaps
For just one minute out of the day,

It may be of value to torture yourself
With thoughts like,

"I should be doing
A hell of a lot more with my life than I am."

But remember,
For just one minute out of the day.

With all the rest of your time,
It would be best
To try looking upon your self more as God does.

For He knows
Your true royal nature.

God is never confused
And can see Only Himself in you.

My dear,
Venus just leaned down and asked me
To tell you a secret, to confess

She's just a mirror who has been stealing
Your light and music for centuries.

She knows, as does Hafiz,
You are the sole heir to the Queen.


I went up to 30mg Adirol today but it made me feel a little sick and dry-mouthed, so it's back down to try 20mg. I feel like we're throwing darts at the dartboard trying to figure the exact angle and amount of force needed to make me not be so unfocused.

Edit: And now for the muppet meme.

you would have more.

In that they're kept in cages and experimented on? *wraps a wing around you protectively* Or that they're small, cute and metaphorically fluffy? *munches on a biscuit* I'm voting for the second one.

Both, I think. And they get underfoot and make funny noises and get into the weirdest places. *snuggles under the wing*
