Morning Tide









It is undeniable that my heart is torn.
I don't remember a time when it wasn't...
I am never settled in my needs and wants
my emotions flow and ebb like the tide at dawn.
it does make it difficult to settle in one place ...to make permanent decisions.

I know who I am but the knowing doesn't always mean it is easy.
One day I feel this way the next...so easily changed.
I still thing of you, you know...I still think of all the others I have loved and lost.
An endless stream of memories that haunt my early mornings of insomnia.

Aging has become a book of daily memories.
I worry that life is never enough....and I will be alone always
I blame others for my dissatisfaction...I blame others that life doesn't fit.

I am happy but...like the morning tide, that changes daily. My feelings ebb and flow...
Reflection and melancholy are like old friends that come to visit now and again just to let
me know that yes....sometimes...most times...life is never enough.

I always need...want...more.

There is a strange sort of comfort in sitting by the shore...by knowing where it comes from...
by knowing this about myself....

As I write these words, others...friends, people I have loved and love now,
may read this entry and say, " That is why! I always wanted to know if there was anything else I could have done?"

The answer is no....it was never you.

The tide always moves in and engulfs my heart and mind and takes me out to sea.

The Reinvention of P

There is a renewed strength in me.
I no longer accept what is not right for me.
I no longer will accept complications
I will no longer accept less than what I deserve to fill my heart,...what I want.

I stand up for the healthy confident me.
Single again because I will not accept less than what I deserve.

It's frustrating at times but liberating as well.
It only took a few months this time to realize, toxic doesn't work anymore.
Manipulation of words....manipulation of me to fit someone elses ideal...doesn't work anymore.

This is me. All of my baggage...all of my strengths...simplified in this one moment.

aah...sigh.
