Let me alone mess up my own life.  I’ll be the one who

will have much to regret.  My life is my own, and it

will be only what I make of it.  I choose not to

accomplish my destiny but see others have what I

desire.  What I refuse to achieve in my life.  I have

a degree in every profession.  But, I just don’t like

nor do I desire the attention or happiness that they

would give me.  I could do more than what I am doing.

Yet, I have nightmares about how busy my like would be

if I pursue it.  I would be so busy doing what I need

to do that there would be no time for me to enjoy what

I do now.  Most of everyone who knows me says that I

am my own fool.  They tell me that me life is and will

be only how I choose to live it.  But, I believe that

a blessing will come to me as long as I keep praying

for one on a day to day bases.  This blessing I

believe will come to me without me applying myself to

helping it come true, because to my understanding that

is how blessings work.  I live life stress free and

without worry.  I wake-up, sit around, and when my

needs are needed I do whatever it takes to get it.

Many asked how I maintain my habit and keep my farm on

its feet at the same time.  I have people who work for

me and my son handles what I refuse to do.  The words

I have to say for those who choose to judge me is

simple.  Let me be my own fool of my own making.

Although I may not have nor be in neither a profession

nor any job in which I get paid I do have a career

that keeps me busy all day long.  I poison my body

with alcoholic beverages.  I do this because I it

helps me not be depressed.  For I am afraid of

experiencing my life as I see it when in my

nightmares.  I fear responsibility.
