whoops I missed a day
i might have gotten ridiculously PISSED OFF AND DISTRACTED BY POLITICS this weekend GODDAMMIT
*ahem*
Day 6: Prompt: Ghost
Lives I never lived:
Memories of Might-have-beens.
Imagining filled in the blanks...
*
It is what WAS. But, you see...
What I'd hoped for is no longer real.
What WAS became What IS by different paths
Than my expectations and dreams once mapped out.
*
This life is a good life.
I've no need for ghosts of former dreams.
Who I am now came about because of paths I trod,
And trees I climbed, bones I broke and set and healed.
*
I'm older now. Wiser? Perhaps.
Sometimes afraid, sometimes fearless.
I've banished those old ghostly not-quite-selves
And I open the gate and step into the light of NOW.
*
whoops, wrote these out of order. But it was good for my head. Ending on a hopeful note for the night.
