Tropical Holiday.....again.

I'm off for another week in paradise!!! This time, I will be diving with the largest fishes in the sea - hopefully I'll return with fantastic photos. :) :)

I have written a beautiful song on my guitar.
I play it every day - my fingers know it on both hands.
No one has ever heard it except me...maybe no one ever will.
But it's mine, it came from inside, and that gives me purpose.

Life
is
sometimes
more
beautiful
from
behind.

Stretch

Ever have "one of those days",
where you can't please anyone?

Where everyone is pulling you
in a hundred different directions,
where everyone wants a piece,
where everyone has a different agenda...
and they all include you?

You push off one friend for another,
and they get pissed.
You push off one meeting for another,
and you get pissed.

Everybody's pissed.

At me.

Because I'm not at their
beck and call.
Because I don't treat "them"
as number one.

I'm just not "happy" enough for this person.
I just don't "smile" enough for that person.
I just don't "care" enough for this person.
I just don't "give time" enough on that person.
I"m just not "strong" enough for this person.
I just "give in" too much for that person.
I'm just not "pretty" enough for this person.
I'm just not "simple" enough for that person.

I just don't have what it takes for any of them,
including me.

There are not enough hours
in a day
for me to do everything
that is expected of me.

There are not enough molecules
of me,
to go around
to every single person
who wants one.

I can't stand the stretch.
I can't fulfill the needs.
I can't be that person
that they seem to want
all of the time.

I just can't be on,
always.

I just
can't
make

everyone

happy.

I
see
things
that
are
there.

Do you?
