Finished

.

I am sitting here thinking.....

No, not really thinking,

but pondering.

.

I understand that day to day

living is not all bad.

It seldom is....

I also understand that life is not

always good.

.

Not for anyone.

.

Life is a continuum of both;

a balance of sorts.

But there is the key....

Balance.

.

I can only imagine a life

of reasonable balance.

.

How often have I have tried to

find that balance with

the only appeal that I possessed?

.

Words

.

I have offered them covered in

every emotion for countless years.

Always hoping for change....

Believing there had to be some word

that would reach your heart

and cause you to see.

.

My words were my pictures

and I offered them to you over

and over again.

I know that sometimes you

contemplated ...and sometimes

you even saw before turning your back.

.

Words became my futile attempt

to reach your heart.

You are and always have been

the Entitled One.

.

So, there will be no more words,

No more pleas,

No more pictures offered.

.

I am finished trying

and yet I am not sad,

and I am not depressed.

I am simply finished.
