Scott Leopold’s Podcast

Trapped in a mind full of ambition but not the intelligence to satisfy it

How to live With ADHD and turn it into a superpower

Austin, Texas is structured for high-income earners and not people on a fixed income. So, as someone who is starting to transition into retirement (empty nester) this may not be the best place to live.  Maybe it’s time to cash out and move somewhere like Florida that is structured for people transitioning into retirement.

This episode is about getting to really know yourself (for good or bad) when you get to the age when you have aged physically and your kids are out of the house and you are alone for the first time in a long time.

No Place In Politics For The Moderates Anymore

"The Truth in My Lies" by Scott Leopold

In my lies, live the seeds of truth.

But in its shadow, I hide.

Through twisted veins and broken heart.

The thought of you, it breaks apart.

Silent tears I wish way.

That I shall save for another day.

Like a child that swims in a shoreless sea.

I am scared of what might be.

Self-consciousness begins to rise.

My reality, no surprise.

My pride is swallowed.

My soul is naked.

I am numb and can no longer take it.

To self-preserve, I must lie.

But in you, I slowly die.

It's the fear that’s surprised deep inside.

The secrets that lie behind my eyes.

Through my lies, my truth is told.

And free is set, my lonely soul.

Window Pain by Scott Leopold

Who's that looking through my windowpane

Glowing eyes as dark as rain

In the Inky night I find my friend

My lonely heart you truly mend

Then you quickly vanish like the wind

My soul is sad and begins to bend

I lay awake and await your face

While you sneak away to midnights grace

Your hearts unstil in search of me

Then, though my window I you see

But when I approach, you run and hide

On sadness's wings my heart does glide

You have become my intrigue, my light

You are black and I am white

With you and I there is no grey

No time to wait another day

One of these night you'll come to stay

But what you'll find has gone away

Then your heart will sink in grief

And slowly rot just like fall's leaf

Then you'll come again to seek relief

And on my windowsill you'll sit in disbelief

What you see is the puzzle piece that makes you whole

But, empty is your bowl

Again, you run away

Fear and loneliness are here to stay

Oh how you enjoy the game

And how it drives me insane

But like a mouse I chase your love

While you fly off like a black cuckoo-dove

In the end when your whiskers grey

And you regret you stayed away

Like a soldiers last breath

What could have been will vanish in death
