All At Once

I’m driving round in circles on the rich side of the street.
The snow makes an optical illusion; it’s all flying inside my eyes.
There are a few tracks ahead but I’ll make my own, thanks.
It’s amazing that I’m the only one who gets to see this part of the world from this angle.
Once I’m gone, my tracks will lay behind me while everything else changes around them.
The world forever imprinted; but nobody knows it but me.
Rewind to my perspective;
I’m driving round the horseshoe going toward my house.
Angelic cotton-spread snow wafts down and smacks the windshield.
The snowflakes in the foreground are the focus; their backdrop is the trees.
If you look closely, very carefully, through the dense trees there lies the icy lake.
A comforting sort of dark greens and blacker browns are wet from the cold.
And there are houses on either side that I’ve only dreamed of living in “someday”
And to get to “someday” I’ve got to:

Eventually
Eventually
But I can’t do it all in one day
I can’t explain it in one breath much less fast forward to the future
Although that’s all I wish
But
But
Someday will come and I know it.
Hold my hand and I can show it
I can feel it
I can breathe it
I can glow it
But if there’s no one to hold my hand
No one to make those lumps in my throat dissolve
No one to get me through
Someday won’t be the same
So I pray that you’re there for me too
So scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours as well
So Someday can be as sweet as it’s magical spell

| Awesome write. I'm currently feeling the same way as you...super stressed out. Why do all the important things in life come all at once?! And it seems as though once we get one thing out of the way, three more things come up and it just keeps multiplying. lol :-) |

kind of wierd but I looked it and can relate to
it in a way. I liked the first two stanzas the best
they were great. Keep up the writing girl I
hope it helps you de-stress.

I read your write. I can understand it, been there many times before. (hopefully I won't sound too old when I say this next thing) Welcome to adulthood. It ain't easy but you will make it and I'm sure I speak for many here when I say that you can use us to unload all your frustration on when needed or just give you helping words when you need them. It will get better, I promise, but life in and of itself always has complications but they make the good parts all the more sweeter....ok, granny Carol will stop now. *hugs*
Hope you are in better spirits soon! |

The idea of someday stresses me out too, and much more than it should would be quite an understatement. But your confidence and ambition will get you through it, so don't worry. (but never stop thinking and learning). Adulthood???? Us???? Wow!
