'sometimes' 2013

Sometimes we get caught up

In the beauty of the hurt

The tinge of sweetness on it’s breathe

As it constricts and squeezes

The quick potent high

Of lacking air before drowning

Sometimes we get caught up in the expectations

The people will change

Or reconnect to us

Whisk us away on that one last adventure

The one that lay in the gap

Between day dream and consciousness

For so many years

Sometimes we get caught up

In the stories we repeat

The ones told to us

Or the ones we thought we

Were supposed to write

Sometimes we get caught up

In the illusion of comfort

Of success, and of joy

In a world of copies and disposables

We forget to connect to the maker

And to ourselves

Sometimes we get caught up

In another persons story

Loving something that is not ours

Or someone

Sometimes we let that other person

Write the story for us

Because we are scared or feel unworthy

To write our own

Sometimes we get caught up

In emotions like hurricanes

In self destructive heaps and cycles

Replaying the tapes to assess the damage

And forgetting how to pick up a shovel

And start again

Sometimes we get caught up

In a sick dependency to time

Reassurance seeking

To make sure it will give us enough

If we feel we have met its 'demands'

And trying to get the biggest bang for our buck

Sometimes we get caught up

In wondering where to begin

Though we have wandered far from the start

And our finger wavers over

The pause button

Begging for the courage to press resume

Without having to rewind or fast forward
