Wasting Time Waiting for the Last Breath (Masquerade) |

I can not speak of things past and what role they played in the future I now live. I can not change the things already done, nor compromise tomorrow by going back. But still I wonder, in the dark recesses of my mind, if I had been a different person from the start, how many would still be here? And what different path would I have taken? Yet reality reminds me. I am slower now having been here beyond my recommended time. No longer concerned with living. Wasting time to think about the life I have lived and choices I made and the people I have touched. Knowing in the end it didn't matter all that much. ___________________________ Good Lord, A big "so sorry" to the poet I tried to pen. |

I see a few different folks in this, but I'm not even going to try guessing. Not sure who you were portraying, but this is an incredible write. Proffessor Gloom maybe?? hmmm.... well done Susan.. The greatest beauty on earth, is |

I have a feeling the poet you have emulated will enjoy this very much. I know I did! |

I'm guessing either icebox or Gloom by the theme, but there are a couple others it might be, though I'm still letting this one 'settle in' until the poet comes into clearer view. |

I too felt ice box - Hugs - Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Yes, I was trying to wear Icey (Icebox). Icey, I am so sorry, I am afraid I can not do you justice...but you know I love ya, right? "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |

Susan, you did a great job! Look at how many of us picked him? That means we all have read him often enough to 'see' him here, and you painted a fine portrait. |

"But still I wonder, in the dark recesses of my mind, if I had been a different person from the start, how many would still be here?" Too true Sweet Lady! I am honored, thank you. |
