taking the time to read between the lines has allowed me to see the story i didn’t tell

about being afraid of what people would do or say if i traveled the road to myself

you see we were born with a dream and through time and conditioning we let society take it away

in favor of a more traditional and accepted route

you see at 64 i don’t know who i am and what really makes my heart skip a beat, but I’m looking

I’m looking through my back pages to see what good was let go and left behind, huddled with what needed to dismissed

what is it that makes me tick and causes my soul to stir

part of it is the relationship i have built with a God that wants to give me more

and part of it is the willingness to look behind all those closed doors

starting over again and it won’t be the first time……………………………………………. or the last
