About Me

My photo
It has been 6 years since I started this blog. It remains "live" because I know that there is someone else out there who can relate to what I felt during that time. Who knows how many people get dumped everyday, the numbers must be high. We live in a " Me-me-me" world where respect and truth have diminished as good character traits in favor of shallow and selfish behavior. I just want to share with you that there is light on the other side. That recovery is a slow process to allow you to come out whole and healthier. We all deserve love. None of us deserve to be treated like something you trade in. Take the time you need to heal, you will be stronger for it.

Old Man, one possible future.

A shock of white hair
and brows over set burning
angry bitter eyes,
glowering, alone in a
room, sitting solitary, the result of your life.
Decisions made
in your past
decided your future;
a mirror of one you once
held in awe, but never understood.
Who knows what makes each of us
walk the course we set in life.
To be all things that were him
was a goal that once made
decided your fate.
Where he had three, you had the same.
Where he walked, you had wanted to follow.
Turning aside those
who were part of your youth,
to achieve what you wanted, emulating
to be the same angry bitter man,
with regrets too late to repair.
Those burning eyes searching
the past looking for reasons,
while you wait, sadly
still not understanding,
that the choices you made
put you where you are today.
