Future Regrets

Wednesday, October 16, 2013

She followed her passion.
She took photos.
She made flowers out of old books.
She ran and spent time in nature.
Her life was magical and she knew
that for her, there were no future regrets.

She worked too much.
She ignored her passion.
She filled her pockets with money.
She ignored her body.
Her life was dark and she knew
that for her, there were many future regrets.

Then one day she woke up.
She left her job.
She emptied her pockets.

She followed her passion.
She took photos.
She made flowers out of old books.
She ran and spent time in nature.
Her life was magical and she knew
that for her, there were no future regrets.

Frustrated

Friday, July 19, 2013

Venting --
lashing out
trapped in routine,
thick as mud
begging for cool
rain to wash it away. 

Selfish and frustrated --
I want to think only of myself
and she won't let me.

She carries misery with her
and I grasp for the strings of
joy as they float away over
my head. 

It really is very frustrating.

Discrepancy & Paradox

Thursday, July 18, 2013

Discrepancy and paradox
chaos and calm
wild and free
oppressed and depressed
anxious and tied down, or up.

Up, or down, tied and anxious
depressed and oppressed
free and wild
calm and chaos
paradox and discrepancy.
