a poem, off the cuff...

kicked off the sloop
for another who came before me
it wasn't that I wasn't good enough

2016 came with a damaged soul
unexpected calls from an unknown past
lifting me up,
giving a new goal

kicked to the curb
they're a loner (a player?)
or something like that

and now what, for the future?
expectations of more strikes

with the expectation to find gratefulness in all that was gained
no mention of the soul drained, eyes dimmed, heart dismantled

So, it's been three years since I posted on Xanga...  Hard to believe how time flies and all that has changed since then. My spirituality, my location, things with my son, etc...

Next Monday I start my BA Degree.  Hoping that I will have everything lined up right to start off well. if I play my cards right, maybe I can do some of my classwork while I'm working... we'll see.  I keep second guessing my major. Wondering if I will come out with lot of debt still, but a low paying job at the end that keeps me from ever getting ahead or preparing for an easier retirement.

So, Xanga - should I make a blogging comeback?  With more positive contributions?
