I wonder...

Where has my life gone?

Where has the love gone?

Deep in the ditches,

Alone in the darkness,

I wonder,

Where has my life gone?

Where has the love gone?

How did I get lost,

In this maze of misery?

How did I lose,

My sense of identity?

Deep in the maze,

Alone in the mist,

I wonder,

Where has my life gone?

Where has the love gone?

Uprooted from the land I grew,

Thrown in to a cold, gray sea,

Spurting and gasping for breath,

Drifting away from all I knew,

I wonder,

Where has my life gone?

Where has the love gone?

KIDS DO SAY THE DARNEST THINGS

Yesterday I was having a conversation with my teenaged friend about my failed relationships. This is an excerpt from that conversation that will make you go,” THE KIDS THESE DAYS!!!”
Me: I can’t believe I went out with him for so long.
Friend: Well I always thought you were too good for him and that you deserved better.
Me: Then why didn’t you tell me that?
Friend: Well you seemed to like him and he did gift you some really pretty clothes…
Me: Pretty clothes aren’t everything, you know…
Friend: I know, but they are SOMETHING.

CHOICE

In life, sometimes, we do things because we believe we have no choice. But we do. It is the consequence of that choice that frightens us; the fear that we might not have the strength or the courage to face it. So we fool ourselves into believing that there is no choice and take the easy way out. But there is; there always is a choice.
