Careless - ON WRITING AND RUNNING

I've been careless
With my thoughts and words
Life feels premeditated
I need to seek a cleaner route
And avoid the medicated
Reality is circumspect
I dabbled in life's chemistry
The end results are mystical
I end up failing miserably
Today is the beginning
Of living in the clear
No barriers to enlightenment
No mongering of fear
New faces flash before me
New challenges to expect
Just greet the day with open mind
And people with respect
Cherish every friendship
Never let them drift apart
Keep the fires burning
And hug them to your heart
