Greener



Sometimes I sit here at night
and wonder what life would be like,
if I had done things differently,
if I had valued myself a little more.

If I had valued myself a little more,
then maybe I'd be happier. Then again,
I wouldn't have my kids either. 

Maybe I'd be more successful
but maybe then I'd also
be a little lonely.

Maybe I could do more things,
have more money, have more fun,
be more responsible and smarter.

But then I remember I'd be chasing
another dream, someone else's dream,
wishing the grass was still greener.

She was roughly 5’5” and 125 pounds. She too, was athletic with aubu...

Chasing Alice

Image
Her hearts lost down the rabbit hole, searching for something concrete. Love? What is love, but a figment of the imagination, a lie told to us as children, giving us a small sense of false hope. Perfection? It's like the lost city of Atlantis, buried deep underground where only a few explorers will ever find it, they know the beauty in which they seek. Chasing Alice has never been so much fun, darting this way ( and that way ) only to find the rabbit hole has become Home.
