Realizing that golden sunrises give way to deep blue skies,
Reality looked at me
Staring me in the eyes
Daring me to dismiss it.
I could not.
Strong enough to be me,
wise enough to know what I want,
It was not that.
And that would never be enough.
Pounding my head uselessly against a wall
Impermeable, impervious
All I got was a headache,
A scar, incompatible.
The wall stands,
But I walk away.
Truth be told,
Whatever was on the other side
Was only in my imagination.
I thought I’d seen glimpses,
I made up a story.
A lovely story, that I wanted to believe.
But alas, it was just a fairy tale,
and I’m too old for fairy tales.

Idk. We’ll see. I see it, but the pathway to my heart knowing it is strewn with potholes. Love to you too.
This is a very strong, powerful piece – just like you my friend. x
Well…..we’ll see. Struggling a bit.
Struggling is okay. It just means you’re not resisting your emotions…that’s healthy. x
