I have these nights,
summer time outside
wonderful afternoon,
when suddenly I am reminded
just exactly who I am.
When it matters little
the beauty of our lives,
when instead we want
only to sacrifice
everything we have.
The other day,
I told someone
all my life I have imagined
taking my life,
though I cannot remember them.
I have my life,
I can be creative again,
my world is ahead of me,
no longer behind,
and yet, tonight,
I want the other side.
