Torn

Two ways.

Part a path between.

Staying or going.

Don’t know if I’m mean.

Selfish or selfless?

Somewhere in the middle.

Where everything meets.

I wish it were easy to say yes or no.

But my heart stays between

The two roads.

Maybe I’ll convince myself.

Or maybe I’ll just run out of time.

Hopefully, regret isn’t in my mind.

I don’t think it will be.

But it’s still a possibility

Celebrations feel the

Air, and I know I’m not alone.

Maybe if I just pick up my phone

And call.

I think about me in my future.

I have to say I don’t see myself there.

Don’t want to braid

My hair.

Discussions everywhere.

I wish I didn’t feel like

This was becoming about me.

But I hope you all know,

My hesitations flow

In and out every minute.

I swear I thought it through.

I know I might not be in it.

But I still wish the best for you.

Green Circle Spins

Round and round it goes When will it stop? The colour of grass and lime Make my skin as white as the snow That falls oh how heavily On the patchy gravel roads The money paid doesn’t getaway From the cracks and holes spotted daily Or the roadkill on the sidewalks As I walk down […]

This is a piece about first days of school, but this piece could still apply in many other challenging scenarios.
