midnight air surrounds me belongings scattered on the floor radio softly playing sitting near a wide open door so many things to pack away so many dreams stowed today so many memories to put in place once more haunted by a loving face why did I return to say goodbye why did I return to once more cry why must I taunt myself again how much of this can I take within alone in the night with only myself trapped in this place I despise held in this room by an unseen force pushed to say these tearful goodbyes as memories keep flooding back taking me to a time way back when a time where fun was easy and free a time where I was young once again playing at recess in the sand box having naptime in the afternoons with snacks and crafts and teddy bears with goodbyes replaced with see-you-soons then the moment is passed; reality sets in no longer young; I'm old now within Time to say goodbye to things I hold dear Time to say goodbye, time to face the fear put it all away, hop aboard the plane think about it another day, when I am sane hide behind the smile that lives on my face hide myself away in my secret hiding place wipe the tears away; dream again some other day face the music I began; remember fear makes the man come up with something to say; live for one more day remember the face of my #1 fan; do it cause you can God makes the man, who succeeds when fear scares the weak away, stronger. "There were times in my life when I was going insane tryin to walk through the pain when I lost my grip and I hit the floor yeah I thought I could leave but couldn't get out the door" - Aerosmith "Amazing" |

In times of change, I truly believe that fear makes you stronger. It helps you to forge ahead and tackle the challenges of life head-on. I loved this Desperado ... beautifully written! /Kit |

thank you guys. I hope it gets easier as well. I really appreciate your comments. (oh and Gloria, that poem that I last talked to you about over a week ago was more than just me rambling, but I wasn't in a place that I felt would enable me to say the whole story. I appologize.)
