Hope

When I was old the first time
I rather thought I might
Forever avoid embarrassment
And...

Happy days
are but a scream away
if I could let it all go
and give into a better way...

My wish today is still far away,
It's further away than yesterday,
Every day that goes by, it...

chasing a dream.

Wanderlust...

The past is mere reflection,
The future can be rearranged...

I write to find a key
To a door I cannot see
Leading to another kind of life
Of ease...
