Life is full of chances
My decisions
Whether I take them
Or stay safe
Can’t stay
Closed up in a shell
Forever
I need to breathe
The air
I need to start
Living again
Even if
I don’t know how
Going down
Different avenues
Never explored
Taking chances
I never have before
No matter how difficult
Or scary
I want to feel alive
Even if I have
To experience
More pain
More heartache
But maybe
Have a few good moments
To give me sparks
That life can have
It’s positive points
That maybe
Eventually
Will outweigh
The dark moments
And maybe
In time
Change my view
On life.

Feelings Never Die
It is Valentine's Day again, and it bought back memories that were over fifty years old. It bought me back to 1971, and I woke up and I knew my baby was due today. I was big and pregnant, and I felt like I was about to burst wide open. Imagine my surprise when the doctor told my I had a due date of February 14. I couldn't believe it, and since my baby was due today, I felt I could indulge myself a bit. I had gained a lot of weight, and chocolate was on the no-no list, but I had came to the end of this pregnancy, and I hoped it would be okay, after all I would deliver this baby today. So I walked across the street to the grocery story, and bought myself, a peppermint patty, covered in chocolate, my favorite. Me and my Valentine's baby would enjoy it together.
