early twenties QUOTES

1 " one morning in my early twenties when feeling quite suicidal
I got into my locked car and someone had done a reversal
the Hawaiian necklace that hung on the rearview mirror
had been turned around backwards in an event so queer
in that moment I knew I was not alone in my struggles
and that all would be okay if I simply forgot my troubles
let it be known that you’ve got watchful guardian angels
I’ll tell you of yet another way that they make me so grateful
their presence and assistance is often noticed as such:
a shot of high frequency energy is felt as they touch
receiving a ringing in an ear while my mind goes meditative
spiritually put back on track with a reminder of my objective
because of the prayers I practice this is how I’m aided
your experiences may vary out of not caring to be persuaded
how often do you call out for help from on high?
it’s their pleasure to assist if you’d just ask them to come by
I can tell you straight away, they know your thoughts
and exactly how you’re feeling when you’re distraught
seeing you scanning this sentence as they’re in your presence
do you feel their love or have you taken a rigid stance? "

3 " She'd been a good nurse, and now she'd never be a nurse again. She was bitter about it and had turned herself into the slut bride from Planet X, as if even in human form, she wanted people to know what she was now: different, other. Trouble was, she looked like a thousand other teens and early twenties who also wanted to be different and stand out. "
