Prompt for the week of 3/13/16
“If you could go back and change just one thing about your life, would you? and if you did, would that change make your life better? Or would that change ultimately break your heart? or break the heart of another? would you choose an entirely different path? or would you change just one thing? just one moment – one moment that you always wanted back.”
~ Lucas Scott
Too Much
I have always been
the one to wear my
heart on my sleeve
The one who
cared too much…
loved too much…
became involved
more than others
in my life
I have tried over
and over again not
to care…
to love…
to become involved…
but it seems my
nature to do so
I want to go
back in time
And
be the hard one…
the cold one…
the one who does
the hurting not
the one being hurt
My life would have
taken so many
different turns
so many different
paths
Maybe leading
to ultimate loneliness
But …
Keeping me from
being used…
being broken…
being ignored…
being an after thought
I would be a
different person
had I not given so
much more than
I ever received…
Better …
Worse …
Who knows …

Caring , Lose , Secrets
Losses
Secrets continue
She is pushed
further and
further away
What was once
caring and concern
is quickly becoming
cold indifference
Is everything lost?

Where Do They Go?
Letting go and
Moving on are
a part of life…
a part of growing…
a part of changing…
a part of becoming…
But…
Where do all those
feelings go when in
this process you
realize you no longer
care and the feelings
are gone?
Do they just disappear
like a puff of smoke
on the four winds?
Do they find some
deep dark recess in your
heart, mind, or soul
to hide in waiting to
surface when we least
expect to be reminded
of the pain but also
the good things?
Life goes on
And…
Is a Mystery…

Too Long…
Too Long…
Forever giving more
than I receive
People taking for granted
I will always
be there for them…
support them…
agree with them…
No more…
I refuse to be the
only one doing
all the work to
maintain a
friendship…
relationship…
Now is the time
to Stop…
Re-evaluate…
And…
Focus on myself
Focus on those
who care and give
me as much as
I give them
Time…
To look ahead
Leave the past behind
Use my strength for me
And…
Forget those who
don’t matter
Who never really
mattered
Who only sought
me out for their
own wants and needs
Never considering
me for me
But…
What they wanted
from me

Someday…
Someday…
Life will be
Different
Secrets will be
Revealed
Trust will be
the Norm
Not…
the hoped for
Someday…
You and I
will not hide
from each other
Someday…
You and I
will not ignore
what we feel
But…
Embrace our
friendship openly

“… I’ve brought you a mirror.
Look at yourself and remember me.”
~ Rumi ~
The Mirror
I am who I am
Because of you
There is nothing
I could possibly
say to you…
give to you…
do for you…
to express
my feelings…
my gratitude…
my caring…
for who you
are to me
for what you
have done to
make me … Me
Find a quiet place…
A peaceful time…
and
look at you in a mirror
What you see is
what I see
The person in my
life I could never
be without
And…
Smile because
you are
Loved…

ENOUGH…
When is enough…
ENOUGH?
Try as I might
I seem to never
do or say the
right thing at
the right time
I try to give
compassion and
support…
But…
It…is…
NEVER…
Enough…
It is so tiring
to try hard…
care too much…
ENOUGH…

Well Heeled…
It is so true
that clothes make the man
or woman for that matter
But…
Shoes tell the true story
How they look tells
everything about the
person who wears them
They don’t have to be
designer or outrageously
expensive
However…
Shoes MUST be
well cared for…
Attention getting…
Statement making…
Being “well-heeled”
tells it all!
