Afternoon Thoughts

Sometimes-

and I feel that sometimes is

occurring more often than

it should-

I look around

and I begin to notice

that I'm not who

I ever thought I'd be.

I remember

I valued love

and romance,

those intangible fantasies

of the heart.

I remember somewhere

along this journey

of life,

I lost faith,

I let go of my values,

let go of the things I held

so dear.

And these days

I look at myself

and am truly perplexed

by the path that led me here;

baffled at the decisions

I've made.
Sometimes I

feel that I've changed

in every possible way,

and yet I feel exactly the same,

but I guess

that's what this life is all about;

testing your boundaries,

your morals,

your faith,

and who you are

at the end of the test

is who

you're meant to be.
