Just passing through...
I’m on the hundred year plan. No one will ever care a hundred years from now what I did today. I’m only passing through.
I have paid my dues. I have been responsible. I have cried the tears that comes with hurt, lost love and the deaths of friends and family. I have seen my share of prejudice. I have lost close friends and made closer ones. I have written songs that have made people cry. I have made mistakes. I have run fast. I no longer can keep my darkest fears from catching up with me. I no longer cry because no one hears me. I have many regrets. I have succumb to hate, jealousy and pride. I am told I’m selfish and been told I’m brave. This is my time and I will live it. I have disappointed many people. I laugh more these days as I finally deal with the shame and guilt that has followed me through life...and I am so tired of people making decisions for me.
A friend and I hope to sail the world someday. Neither of us know how to sail, so we’ll have to learn or not return.
