A poem for the new year

To echo back my new years reflection blogs a few days ago, a lot can happen in one day.

For my first blog of 2016, I decided to publish a rather vulnerable poem I wrote.  Quite frankly, it underlies the hope for change I have for myself for this new year.  It may even hold some of the same sentiments you might have for this new year as well. It's gloomy. But it's intention is to obtain a more sober mindset.

Happy new year everyone.

"To Walk Away"

it hurts
and yet it’s the right thing to do
to walk away, to stop trying
before it gets even worse

Uncomfortable
being in this situation
wasn’t supposed to be this way
dreams shattered, painful

Tough mistakes
they’re hard to accept
and relief comes very easily
but predictably also the aches

It’s too late
what's done has been done
the scars are open and wide
better to love them than hate

Too Slow
healing takes time
Patience is not yet my friend
… yet its time to grow
