The Beautiful and The Unbeautiful - a collection of poems and texts

On The Up and Up

I am on the up and up

A can feel it

And I am taking each step with careful consideration

For fear of a bit of the old hypo-mania

I am growing

Changing

Learning

Reevaluating everything in my life

I have already realised or thought rather

That I need new values

New goals

I can no longer walk around in this circle or spiral of death

So I'm climbing up

On the up and up

I know the latter to be long

Though I have not climbed it

I know it to be long

Each step could take weeks or months

But I am on the up and up

Up and at'em

Go get'em tiger

You can do it

                           (you little piece of shit)

No, we talked about this brain

Remember step 22?

No more self-loathing

It gives you wrinkles

(But I already got them)

It gives you more

(So does wine)

Yeah, well, some things just aren't meant to change

(I completely agree)

No, not like...

Let's just try again

You were doing so well

New life philosophy

More noticing the beauty in the world

Less trying to find the ever-lucrative "The one"

She'll come along

Worry not poor child

Everything's gonna be alright

-I know this may not be the most enthralling thing I have ever written, but it needed to be written, it needed to be said. It is like those letters people tell you to write and then burn or throw away

It's therapeutic

It's good

It's good

I'm better

I'm not fine

But I'm better, I'm better

=The doctor will see you know Mr. Boat=

I am on the up and up

I am on the up and up

I am on the up and up

I am on the up and up
