Permanent Motion

Drifting, Sleeping with my eyes open
This spell feels like I am in a picture
Stationary, lifted by the hands of the movers
Carefully placed in between boxes like a game of tetris
Floating, flying in bed above the wheels
Pot holes and speed bumps shifting my position
Peering, visible passer bys spying me
Destination unknown by my eyes 
Steady, constant breeze flowing through the cracks
Permanent convertible with a view of blue
Cool, air condition weather I like it or not
Body warmth next to my cardboard friends
Guessing, mind games played by pit stops
Long enough to be real but movement is absent
Melodies, horns and purring of gears shifting
Tires over reflecting bumps and grinding of axles
Turned off, engines final roar settling
Locks pop, hinges squeak, feet grounded
Were here, arrival successful, destination complete, move accomplished.

Friendless

Friend is a funny word.
A friend can come in any form you want it to.
The hardest part to grasp about friends is the fact that not all people are meant to be your friends.
Friends can either be short or long term. 
The people that say "they were never really friends in the first place" is a lie.
They were your friend or maybe even your close friend at that, they just weren't one of your long term friends.
Just because you grew apart does not mean you take them out of the friend category.
Most of the time when friends grow apart there is that feeling of rejection or anger towards the opposite person.
The best thing to do in my mind is figure out who your long term friends are and nurture those friendships.
Be selfless and caring so that in the long run you will still have those friends next to you.
If you put to much effort into those dying relationships then you will come out empty and alone.
Evaluate your friends.

Find Enjoyment

I have been told a lot of things, none of which have helped me to find enjoyment in my life.
I think people tend to stress about the little meaningless speed bumps more than important things.
I have found that life takes patience and perseverance to stay grounded and stable. 
The early sun rise in it's self is proof enough to be joyful in your life.
God created light for us so we didn't have to live in the dark, yet most people I know think the morning is boring and or annoying.
God shows us that we don't have to live in darkness.
I look at the morning as a blessing and the reassurance. 
When that sun peaks its head over the mountain tops it is soothing.
Remember how blessed we are.
Looking at life not worrying about the small things is the single most enjoyable state of mind I have come to.
