Day: March 14, 2018

And you told me to forget
The life I thought I had left behind
You realized that I had lied
To nobody but myself
For I hoped for a way back
Though the past did not want me
And what lay ahead only offered more of the same
Unfulfilled dreams

The homeless
The poor
The meek
The hungry
The lonely
The depressed
The mentally ill
The parentless
The childless
The minimum wage worker
The bench/backups/alternates/replacements/runner-ups
Unsung heroes
Your health
The arts
Critical thinking
Books
Science
Spirituality
Taking one’s time
The path less traveled
The crew in the other silo
The people in your life

And most of all

Yourself
