I'm a middle-aged nobody breathing one day at a time in Ontario, Canada.

This tiny corner of the Internet is an outlet for unmasking random thoughts and creations surrounding life in general, adventures in budō, and any other topics that come to a ridiculous mind.

Paint Love on Their Walls

Published by Lee Under the Cedar Trees on January 13, 2025

To paint love on their walls
Down those long hallways
Meandering through their mind
From yesterday to their future
I wish I could

For them, for all their kind warmth
I wish I knew how to do more
I wish I could do everything they need

I’ll have to settle for my presence
And occasional smiles
And when those fall
Yield in acceptance
That nothing lasts forever

January 9 – 13, 2025

I feel like giving up today.

I don’t understand people. I don’t always know why some things are ok but not other things. I get things wrong all the time that other people seem to just understand. Often I just don’t get it.

I can’t fix this ridiculous brain — I can only try to manage. But how do I manage this? I’m just going to keep making absolutely stupid mistakes. Others will keep wondering what the hell is wrong with me. It’ll happen again, and again, and again. I don’t know how to manage it.
