It’d be easier without feelings
At least then no worries
Nothing to try and attempt to control
Everything would be colder than cold
Easy to travel this world all alone
Than to have loved much like you are prone
Everything changes
There is no room for anyone who simply manages
Easy to walk in the other direction
When nothing is expected, no need for perfection
Trials would all be null and void
Those who were victims, would be no more
Easy to tell a lie than pretend you are alright
Second guesses, those keep us up at night
Different people with no agendas
Different objectives can leave you feeling offended
Easy not to show your sensitive side
But sometimes, harder to hide
Human interaction will confuse things
No sense in worrying what tomorrow can bring
Easy to forget the hardships and stay in denial
If you want to live un-encumbered for a while
Easy to just feel and see reality
When your talking about spirituality
Everyone chooses according to their own preferences
Everyone makes efforts or they don’t.
Easy is something everyone wants.
It has gotten too easy to say to you all
I almost think sometimes, I had imagined it all.
The hurtful words, the criticisms, and the lies
Like in the hottest crime book novel, I am the spy
The wet spots on my pillows that laid on my bed
It is kind of easier to think it all was in my head.
Dreams of you seldom come this way
But then again, what is there left to say?
I tossed many a nights thinking about what ifs,
The fallback was me, the goodbye was to me, I was the riff.
I desperately sought your approval in the earlier days
Thinking by some sudden miracle I could erase the overbearing haze.
Foolish I was, but trying to belong I was always
Trying so hard, but never so much again, in all ways
How did it become so much more easier to say goodbye,
Then to hold each other close, and try to dry a tearing eye?
How was it that you became as mundane as what to wear?
If even that is saying I care.
Too easy for you to forget about me,
to pick up where things were before me, I see.
It is all like reading about someone else and their life,
Skipping through the pages, trying to skim to see
If in fact is was even really me.
– Main wood piece {I used a cabinet door front}
– Finial {top wood piece}
– Spool
– Oval Wood Piece for base
– Drill
– Wood Glue
– Spray Paint
– Sand Paper {to distress}
– Clothes pin
1. Mark the center of your main wood piece on the top and the bottom based off of the width of the board and the thickness of the board.
2. Drill a hole slightly larger than the screw on the finial. *If you want to make the holder sturdier and with smoother transitions, you can flatten the connecting parts on the frame using a forstner bit.
3. Drill a 3/8 in. hole in the bottom of the main wood piece/frame.
4. Drill a 3/8 in. hole through the center of the base and cut a 3/8 in. dowel to the needed length.
5. Apply glue to the spool and base and in the hole of the spool and base. Push the dowel through and let dry.
6. Apply glue to the hole in the bottom of the frame and push the remainder of the dowel through. Also screw in the finial on top.
7. Spray paint and let dry. Polyurethane for a nice finish.
8. Paint clothes pin and let dry. Mod Podge scrapbook paper on if desire. Hot glue to board.
Now you can use this baby to hang recipes, pictures or anything else you want.
