Years ago I wrote a poem called "A life on pause" and recently found the original paper I wrote it on and decided to breath new life into the piece, take it the same direction but in a different style. I hope you enjoy it and Happy Belated Thanksgiving my lovely Vixen Doves.
A Life on Pause
Yesterday I was on pause, 15 minutes ago, hell a year ago I was on pause.
Oh sure I walk with my eyes open, engage in conversations that leave people with The idea that I am a brilliant, funny outgoing and full of life person, someone who . has never or will ever look at darkness like a dear friend. Thats an easy sell but of course a lie.
See they do not know the reality of me, that I am just going thru the motions to please everyone. When really I am catatonically living a life without joy, without passion or emotions. That my gives a damn is broken in a thousand fragile pieces.
How do I feel again? Do you dear reader hold the clues as to how I once againBecome emerged in the world or how I might shake this horrid overwhelmingBlandness that has traveled to my very core?
If they really dared to look beyond the pretty eyes and lovely smile that is my mask, they would see my real profile, see a grey shadow that threatens to drown this tormented soul without mercy.
So now you know, this is what I am. A life on pause.
BUT it is not something I am willing to allow anymore. No longer will I let my past dictate my future or even my hear and now moments. Im going to shout till Heaven and Hell take notice again.
NO more will I cater to the emptiness that strangles me from the inside out.I might have been a life on pause yesterday, 15 minutes agohell a year ago
But now I am taking back my life. Think of me as a phoenix rising from itsOwn ashes to be whole once again.
Listen to what I say and remember when you see me in passing, no moreWill I be the Lady with a life on pause.
