C’est La Vie

Such is life

They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions so I guess I’m one step closer.

The partner pleaser in me tripped up

The “I do too much” in me did just that

And now I’m here on my own recognizance.

C’est la vie

Such is life

One step closer to my dreams

Yet pulled into my nightmares

Where does the Saving type of Grace actually reside?

I guess not on the road to Damascus…

C’est la vie

That’s life, I suppose

And now, we’re here

It’s a new day

It’s a new dawn

And I’m again feeling numb

I write through my emotions. Each poem is an excerpt from the moment in time I’m existing in at the time of writing.
