Stages

I am lost at sea.

I am delirious with irrational thoughts.

How can this be?

So much promise exhausted.

Was there a moment of chance in which I did not seize an opportunity?

Anger floods my skin.

Damn, them!

Damn all of them!

But, who is to blame?

The inconceivable nature of my quandary has left me bitter.

Well, I did begin to notice the atrophied of my heart.

When did I reach the bridge of bargaining?

My true humble nature deserves to be flattered.

The acid taste of acceptance.

There are truly themes that are out of our jurisdiction.

Finally, acceptance of the inevitable while secretly clinging to hope.

I’m lost, but I never give up!
