There's a time for introspection,
But I wonder why that fate-
Tends to make our timing,
Just a little bit too late?

Hindsight's twenty-twenty,
Somehow I never see...
That the greatest problem that I face,
In life, is usually me.

I guess I am too selfish-
It really isn't "guess"...
I know my tunnel vision,
Always leaves me in a mess.

Somehow I see so clearly,
After the words are said...
That tend to kill the feelings,
Then I mourn because they're dead.

Perhaps I would be better...
If this were my swan song.
And my life were spent in solitude,
The state where I belong.

Gunslinger John: most of us think that we are THE problem in our relationships.  We just keep stumbling along, and trying to learn and make our lives better.  

I've been reading your writes for quite awhile now.  They usually have a strong, masculine theme with a most surprising punch of human sensitivity and tenderness that absolutely grips me.  It "gets me" every time.  

i have felt the need to be in solitude, too.  someday....

Your just being human sure shines. I think just about everyone feels this at one time or another.. so human, and honest. All the best to you.
