why do I always attract the wrong men she wonders initially they are kind and understanding but soon they become impatient, inconsiderate and hurtful the same happens again and again
when you smile I see the little girl who was full of awe about the wonders of this world had a sense of adventure a believe that anything was possible and could be achieved with lightness and joy seeing you smile today makes my soul dance with happiness as I can see that despite the challenges of life the little girl has survived
she sits in her comfy chair looking back at the year and sighs what holds me back to do the things I yearn to do what paralyses me when I decide to change well worn habits what sabotages all my plans carefully designed to improve my life she takes a deep breath hoping to find the answer to all her questions
she can hear the bell striking twelve times another day has passed with another opportunity missed she cannot sleep and wonders if the same will happen today or will she have the strength to do what she should have done a long time ago
she sits on the floor crosslegged trying to calm her mind as her thoughts repeatedly return to the window a window battered by the storms of life - her life a window nearly closed with the gap slowly but steadily getting narrower and narrower soon it will be too narrow for her soul to slip through into a better and happier world all she needs to do is to get up and open the window
looking at the feather on the pavement she remembers that as a little girl it had been her dream to be a poet when growing up however she sadly had to let go of her dream
sometimes I am not sure whether I am coming or going succeeding or failing creating or destroying supporting or opposing agreeing or contradicting loving or hating
the song of the nightingale touches my soul so hauntingly beautiful and magical but also full of sorrow reminding me that nightingales will soon be silent forever
she sits on the bench quietly so that nobody can see her despair as she wonders if she still has the strength to pick herself up after yet another disappointing failure
