The difficulty involved
In letting go of anger,
Something that has
Supposedly served him
For so many years but has,
In actuality,
Only steered him away
From what really matters,
A lesson learned after
Too many years of failure.
Hopelessness is the
Result of giving up
Our dreams,
Euphoria, optimism.
Through hopeful eyes
The world is
Full of possibility,
Wonder, magical adventure.
We each get to choose
Our own path,
Whether to live in
Delight or sorrow.
A strange unease from an
Otherwise ordinary interaction
Occurring at an unusual time.
Message with undertones of
Manipulation, control.
Not everything is well here.
Something else is bound to
Go awry, undesirable circumstance;
Wait for it and hope for the best.
His mind at an impasse,
What it’s like to see
The world in only two colors,
Limited palette of options.
Were there a way to persuade
Him of what happens when
The road narrows and
Reason vanishes.
So much more out there,
A vivid landscape
Free from the confines
Of strictures.
It try the same
Thing one more time,
As if it’s going to
Make a difference,
It never seems to but
There is always hope.
It’s okay not to know
Where you’re going,
You’ll be able to
Figure it out.
Look deep inside,
Get to know yourself,
Heal the things that
Hold you back,
Pursue the things that
Make you truly happy.
Celebrate how wonderful you are,
Grow all the time,
You’re worth it.
Seeing them after so
Many years, it dawns
On her how different
She is now, not the
Same person that used
To be deeply enmeshed
In the intrigue and
Chaos, expected to
Get with the program
Without resistance,
Fold neatly
Into submissiveness.
You will encounter
Many obstacles on
Your journey toward
Living the life you want.
Keep going,
No matter what,
You’re worth it.
The world awaits
Your wonderful gifts.
Questioning, unquestioning,
Transition from something else
Unwanted but without alternative,
More of the same, continuing
Down the path unconscious until
Some other opportunity appears
And changes everything because
We dared to entertain things from
Another perspective and left
Everything else behind.
