Life is Hard - Mellencamp Inspires A Lightning Strike

I spoke of having to write and it feeling like a lightning strike when the idea hits...I bought a new black notebook, folks...the lightning is hitting hard.

To appreciate it...think of a phrase and a story entering your mind...at all times of the day...and developing..it unfolds for you...the words of the characters must be written down. The characters are formed to the point of actually knowing them and there are:

Three words..over and over again...

Life Is Hard

I told my buddy:

"My mental illness is back!"

He said:

"Sweet!!! But it never actually left."

I had been in remission.

Life is Hard by John Mellencamp

Life is hard anyway you cut it
Life is sweet, like a berry from a tree
Life is temptation, Baby, every single day
Life is hard

Life is funny, I don't mean ha-ha
It's not always sunny, when it needs to be
Life is frightening, nothing lasts forever
Life is hard

My time
Is next to nothin'
My time
Falls on you, yeah
Everything
Is in motion
Life is hard

Life is precious, no matter how you see it
Life is crazy, like yellow fishes in the street
Life is lonely when you're not with me
Life is hard

Gentlemen
Is that you story?
hanging religion from a tree, yeah
My time is next to nothing
Life is hard

My time
Is next to nothing
My time
Falls on you, yeah
Everything
Is in motion
Life is hard

My time
falls on you, yeah
Life is hard
Life is hard
