Born To Be Down

And you just don't get it
You keep it copaceti
And you learn to accept it
You know its so pathetic--Bound For The Floor, Local H

We are driven by the same basic instincts anger, happiness, sadness and fear. You can paint people together with the broad strokes yet no one can predict how each of us will react to the minute. The glance from across the room, the missed phone call, the ripple on the water-- the change our lives. We are complex. Often we don't even know our own reasons. We hide. We hide behind complex constructs of who we think we are, who we want to be, who we are told we are.

I like to believe that more then fate brings us together, that more then our will drives us. Sometimes we are gently guide away from the edge, sometimes our lesson is to fall. I don't know how I got here. My past is mostly forgotten. My future uncertain. I could use a nudge now.
