Rumors

 Lots of rumors going around...
And rumors of rumors...
Question marks in lots of folks' minds...
What's real,
What's not?
What's fact,
What's fiction?
Likely 50/50...
It's a coin toss 
In a universe of quantum probabilities,
Anything is possible...
It may not be the reality
You've come to expect,
But real is real.
Not everything gets talked about
For fear of rocking the boat...
People settle into all too comfortable paradigms
That limit growth...
Hamper
The free flow of communication...
I want to be real...
I don't like secrets...
I don't like subterfuge...
I'm actually quite normal...
Normal for me...
I live outside the box...
Slowly, over the years,
Shedding the need
To be something that fits the expectations
Of others...
Slowly
Becoming more and more
Me...
And I'm proud of the journey,
As painful as it has sometimes been...
I've caused news that was the voyeuristic
Talk of the town...
Wondering about things is a good exercise...
It tones the brain...
Being faced with mysteries is good for the soul...
Solving problems is a cure for anxiety...
What if I can't do this?
Just do the thing...
And do another thing
If that doesn't work...
Life goes on...
The juggernaut will not be stopped...
Just keep getting up...
Never stop getting back up...
It's not always easy to be yourself,
But always choose to be yourself...
Shed a tear if you have to,
Here or there,
But never, ever stop...
Understanding will eventually come,
Until then,
Enjoy the show...
