I was watching the baseball game tonight thinking you really can’t steal home with your foot still on third base can you? You know people always wonder why we go out on a limb in the first place? Well, it’s because that’s where all the sweetest fruit is, isn’t it? You know, even when you don’t make a choice, still, you’ve made a choice haven’t you? Decisions, they are the stitches of our future. They’re those swivels, of our eternity. They’re those wonderful couplings, of our destinies. As they really do make up the sum of our existence don’t they? It’s hard to follow your dreams when reality, has burned all the bridges you were hoping to cross. I hate it when that happens. But it’s something I’ve come as accustomed to, as breathing. Sometimes I’m just afraid that I’m never ever going to become who I, really am. Whoever that is? Whatever, that is. People always tell me just be yourself, just be yourself and you will be happy. But guess what? They were dead wrong. I don’t want to be, whoever this is I am supposed to be. I’ve just got to be, better than I was, yesterday. Dear god, how could I not? And maybe, just maybe, not quite as good as I’m going to be, tomorrow. That’s my problem. I always want too much don’t I? Why can’t I just be happy with being the unhappy person, I’ve become? For me this world will always be much, much, more beautiful, then ugly. And even if I spend my last days alone, I will not regret and I will not, misgive. I just hope someday I can accept, my own apology? For breaking the promise I made, to my silly soul. But at least I only broke that pledge with myself. Maybe in that, next life, I will be the sun and you, the rain. And together we will make that rainbow, we keep hearing, nice things about. That one that finally brings us where we almost knew, where we belonged this time. Together. |

It is a sad write, Richy, but one which I am sure many can relate to. Perhaps the purpose of this life is to make us think a better one next time but who really wants to think that far ahead? We do though vaguely and that's perhaps the problem. Helen |
