As I've mentioned before, I like to write. A bit here and there, though I've never formally studied it, so I'm not sure exactly how to go about getting into the business, so to speak. But I'm looking into it. I'm looking into making my dreams a reality, as I hope, you too are doing the same!
My current job doesn't fulfill me. I think I have a problem working for 'the man'. I'm ore one who works well alone, to my own schedule, though i do enjoy interacting with people. Not so much when they're yelling at me for things that aren't my fault, but at the moment, I just take being a verbal punching bag, along with every other aspect of this job... and then go home to my little fantasy land, which exists happily inside my brain.
And every now and then, I put pent to paper. An
d stuff like this happens...
Three Six Five
Tick Tock. Tick Tock.
So move the hands on the bedroom clock.
Deep breath in, big sigh out.
My lungs release as the voice inside shouts.
Twenty-Four Seven. Three six five.
Another fifty-two weeks have just flown on by.
What did you accomplish within the past year?
Did you capture your dreams and release your fears?
Did you inch a step closer to the great unknown?
Or did you stay secluded in your ordinary cocoon?
Did you break a self promise, more empty words?
Or did hope prevail to have itself heard?
Did you step off that ledge to see if you'd fly?
Or like years past, are your dreams starting to die?
Did you let go of regret, release all your sorrow?
Or as usual are you just pushing that all to tomorrow?
Did you bring your hands together in the form of a prayer?
Did you trust in Faith, did you accept that dare?
Did you reach out to God, did you hold His hand?
If you're willing and able, He will take you there.
When you asked the questions, did you hear the answers?
Or did you close your ears and leave it all to chance?
I hope you introduced yourself to Faith and Hope,
So everytime you walk out the door, you know that you'll cope.
Did you meet their friends, Belief and Trust?
Or did you kick them to the ground, cover them with dust?
If Fate passed you as you walked down the street,
Would you seize the opportunity, would the two of you meet?
If you had the chance to do it all over again,
Which of these words would you befriend?
Your life is like the hourglass tipped upside down,
Once the sand pours out there's no re-count.
It's important you understand exactly what is at stake,
Because you life only comes once, there's no room for mistake.
When you take your last breath and it's all said and done,
Can you look back with a smile, say you had a good run?
Or did doubt creep it's way through, get under your skin,
Leave you sitting there thinking of what might have been?
Did you shoot for the moon, did you reach for the stars?
Did you land among them like the gem that you are?
Did you waste your talent or did you seize the moment?
Did you take this last year in your hands and own it?
When you ask these questions next year and look back on your life,
Will you once and for all be at peace with your mind?
Can you honestly say you did all that you could,
So evil wouldn't prevail and that you did good?
If the answer is yes and you can hold your head high,
Then there was no better way to have spent the past three six five.
