Journeys long and journeys short
Worthless paths below me roll
Running faster I must resort
Killing some and sparing others
Confused and lost in the midst of all
Hugging the one while the other smothers
Where do I find a life well lived
Begging this life to wrap up soon
Daily mourning a heart soon shived
Darkness, Darkness upon me rolls
Burning deep within my core
My broken soul with burning coals
Embraced in black with no way out
time to give up, to let life fade
Screw this death, I begin to shout
Light breaks forth as a new dawn
Depression, sadness, loneliness abound
New life, hope and joy it does now spawn
There is another, much larger than we
Foretold, encountered, explained by some
Used, repacked and hidden in greed
Empty your mind of all your thoughts
A void of openness for what may come
Ask perfect Love what it has bought
Ask by what name you are called
New life to you will hence be wrought

So You Decided To Become a Nurse Practitioner:
So you decided to become an "Advanced Practice" nurse. Congratulations!... is what I would say if this was a good idea. Grad school? In this economy? What were you thinking? Likely it was something along the lines of either 1) “I've seen these other chucklefucks do it— Why can't I?” or even 2) “I've got a nice career, I should shake it up. I miss feeling like I have no clue what I'm doing.”
