Okay we are going to try something here, and we'll see how it goes.... LoL
Some people know I use to write quite a bit of poetry, and lyrics....But haven't done much of it in quite awhile......... As sad is it may be, it seems that pain is the influence that makes for me to write well....... Fortunately those inner demons seem to be at bay for awhile...... So I decided to try and write something on a lesson learned in life rather than the pain I'm going through........
So we will see how it goes over if it's liked I might try writing more, and posting some of my other writings, if it reaches out to someone...... If not..... well we can just trash doing it again LoL
So here is the attempt, let me know if you like it or can relate to it in someway or another....
When I was young and still in school,
I met a young lady and somehow knew she was "The One"
I never could find courage to tell her how I felt
time drifted by then school was out.
went by, we went separate ways
never getting another chance to ask her out.
left only with memories and to wonder
what would have happened if I had asked her out
Could something so innocent stand the test of time
could we still be together, or ended in goodbye
I've learned that life is wire we all must walk
playing it safe won't guarantee happiness or success
so while we're out on that wire, we might as well dance.
I'd much rather live letting time tell the answers
than survive with regret...........

First I must say, you keep writing whether anyone likes it or responds or not. Keep opening that door and something will walk through, I can quarantee it!
ReplyDeleteAs far as your life lesson above...isn't that something we all think about over the years? All those missed moments or chances. I know I have many, many more than I care to even admit to. In fact it has taken me 44 years and I am still working on it daily, to stop letting those things pass me by. Our strength in our decisions, at least built who we are today. As long as you (and me and who ever else) is happy with where we are today that should be good enough. But gosh,it is hard to stop wondering "what if".
Thank you Mel....
ReplyDeleteI must say I'm still at my age dealing with the what if's, and I think it's ok to wonder at times, as long as we don't let it control us....In fact it can be a bit fun at times...
As far as the writings, poetry, or whatever you call it.... I've been lucky in that regard to have a few things published, and some stolen and used in lyrics and such as well...... but its neat just knowing you are part of something even if you don't get the credit..... I've never been one that wanted the limelight a whole lot..
