What I am…

I sit…
Sipping my coffee
Allowing my mind to drift to places on its own
Allowing my thoughts to flow freely
Going in directions I may either love or fear
It is the only way to allow myself to understand what makes me tick

I listen…
As others around me converse
Telling stories that nobody cares to hear
But are too polite to say anything
Intimate details of their relationships
Better suited for the bedroom
I think I’m going to be sick

I watch…
As people walk the street
Not looking where they are going
Earbuds and cellphones guiding them through the abyss
Are they going anywhere?
Or just trying to avoid another brick

I laugh…
As I remember good times
With friends and family spending meaningful moments of joy
Knowing that life should not be lived too seriously
We all deserve to have a few kicks.

I live…
A life filled with blessings
That took me way to long to appreciate
Surrounded by the love of people who matter
I walk away from those who don’t
I have the freedom to pick
