(poem) Rambling about inadequacy

Passing the time
Watching it go away
Is this what I should do
Day after day?

My life is completely on track
Yet I’m hungry for something more
I know what I should do now
So both of us don’t end up on the floor

But will it work
Can it pay off
Only time will tell
If we can fill the trough

There's nothing quite like wondering how the future will turn out, the inevitability of life starts to creep around the corner.  Does chasing dreams actually work?  Seems my dreams have been crushed so many times, but I HAVE to make this one work.

So how do I?  Blogging is definitely not the answer, but it is a wonderful outlet.  It gets me writing, and that’s what I need to be doing most.  Soon I shall focus my free time where it needs to be, and we shall see what happens.  Will I finish a novel that I can sell?  I don’t see why I can’t.  I just need to focus.




Focus
Its not hocus pocus
It’s a state of mind
That I must find.

I must go
And find my flow
At the end of dreams
Outside the seems.

Only then can I achieve
The things only I can believe
And find my place
Without falling in disgrace.

Ever have those days where you don’t feel you are doing enough to secure your future?  Its so hard to get around that feeling, no matter how many hugs and kisses and reassurances you get.  But Lisa is right, we’ll make our way through.  I just hope I really am pulling enough of my weight....
