Resigned

Once upon a time I wrote good poetry
that time is gone
the magic's left my fingertips
my paint's dried up
pen's out of ink
I'm left here
with empty words
that echo painfully
while I try to tune them
nothing sounding right

Once upon a time I felt something
and it's returned
making it ever so hard
to sit still and write
to express feelings
I'd rather be out experiencing
I've caught up with the future
within all my planning
I never prepared to actually do anything
and now I'm caught in a whirlwind
spin spin spin

Once upon a time I dreamed
and now I do instead
and damn it scares me

With age comes responsibility. And your first responsibility as an adult is to never lose track of the child in your heart. Change can be a very good thing... if you let it be. :::OLd

I won't be here this week. I'm coming South. Not your kind of South, but South by NH standards.
