The Decision Was My Own |

I opened up my heart today, And took a look within. And stopped awhile to reminisce- Of how things might have been... I found myself much harder, Than I had realized. And quite a different person, Than I might have surmised. I found that I am selfish... With thoughts of only me. Though people I have helped along, Might strongly disagree. If all we give is money, And never of our heart... That is the sort of reasoning, That tears a life apart. I tore up all my numbers, And tightly closed the door. To hopes and dreams of romance. I'll play that game no more. I'm old enough to make it, And spend my time alone. And if I seem unhappy, The decision was my own. |

It's good to read your words again, John. You always give us a well-written dose of reality. But I do hope that when someone knocks on the door to your heart, you will open it. |

Insightful.. and I can relate.. "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |

Perhaps you do yourself a disservice, but it is true, the choice is your own. Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

There are times for closed doors, to be sure. Just don't throw away the key. |
