i’m not there anymore

you know the place where you try to hide from everyone including yourself

i’m not lost anymore, off track sometimes but not lost, and a hard turn brings me back to familiar roads

i’m not as impulsive as I once was, sometimes, but not so much, which has resulted in less collisions with others on this highway of life

i don’t live under the illusion I am special, articulate,or smart, but rather and average Joe trying to do better and be better

that mirror doesn’t find me looking at a dashing 60’s year old guy, but it doesn’t find me despising this animal that lives to take and takes to live, either

a work in progress and sometimes when I feel like I’m slipping I will throw out the anchor and regroup before the storm comes

willing to fish on both sides of the boat and if the bait isn’t working we can try something else

not exactly where I want to be, but getting closer……………………………..definitely not there anymore
