It started.
Isn't that the important thing?
Everything started.
Shamefully, yes.
Regretted? Never.
It started with his eyes. His hands, lips, words.
It opened a door to a brand new kind of dream.
A dream where anything could happen.
Where my heart could soar, and then suffer.
Then it ended.
Everything stopped.
My heart's dreams shattered.
The open door, slammed shut, and locked.
I lost the key.
Was the ending worth it? Never.
Regretted...I haven't figured that out yet.
All I could do...is wait.
Hope wouldn't be an option.
Just bitterness.
And my heart would harden itself.
So that it could heal.
But then, that stupid dirty window opened.
The one I never imagined existed.
And through the window, my past crept through and came to me.
It found my key.
But I took the key, and threw it away.
I couldn't look at it.
I didn't want it.
How could I accept something that has broken me?
But my past transformed into a different future.
And instead of hurting me, it was healing me.
So I found the key again.
And unlocked the door,
Even though my opportunity was standing in front of me.
My future.
My life.
And everything picked up again.
It started.

Not a vast and twisting
by Adrian Owens
I have worked so long
And so hard everyday
For everyone except myself
One gets tired
Of being the answer
To other peoples
My destiny,
Is not found written in pages,
My destiny exceeds the ages,
My destiny was foretold,
By an ancient Civilization,
by Lee Baker
Destiny is? A question unanswered.
Where to find it?
Choices to make.
Will You follow me?
What path will i choose?
I walk
I am creating my destiny as I sit here and write
I choose to do this... be it day or night
I decided to choose this subject...
