Simple? (OctPoWriMo2015-Day 26)

Was there a time when things were simple?

Or did I imagine it?

Simple was never part of the process

It's always harder than we remember

Process it in our minds to be something it's not

Remember that thing you thought was easy?

Not so simple when you try again

Easy doesn't exist

We just get over it

And when it's over, we forget...

70VE (OctPoWriMo2014)-Day 26

I stare at the long dark hallway

Hoping a light will show up

I swallow hard

Clench my fists

And feel the sweat form on my face

One step after another I slowly go

For a second I close my eyes tightly 

Hoping this is the right choice

I try to be mindful of my surroundings 

But there's nothing to see

I'm all alone

With goosebumps on my skin

I'm more than halfway there

But I want to turn around

What's waiting for me?

I see a light just at the end

I stop before I step into the brightness

What if it's not there?

Take a deep breath...exhale

I walk into the light

A smile spreads across my face

Love was waiting for me all along
