Recycling Time. A Poem


I have wasted so much
Time at least
Energy I reserved
As I did little
But worry.
That fight or flight response
Alive and well in me
In the form
Of learned helplessness.
I can't go on like this!
Well I can
But what an expense!

My mind toys with living
Should I take a chance?
Could today be the day
I develop a second wind?

I am not growing younger
Like Benjamin Button
I have experience
But compared to many
I have barely lived.

I am a riddle.
I am riddled.
I am here
But am I really?
My mind is off
Up up and away
Were a hot air balloon
To appear
I would think
It for me.
To escape.
But that transportation
Is unnecessary
I am stationary.
My mind is it's own means.
It thinks this mode is cheap
But that is far from the case.

Remember the waste?
My mind might be a recycler
When I think about it
It uses the same thoughts
Over and over.

Eureka! I know
I must break the pattern
Like eating plantain chips
Instead of the potato ones
One small bite of change
Can beget another one
And so on and so on...
Good and plenty
I didn't so much
As like the candy
As I did the colors.
And now there are Skittles!
Aren't they various
As well as delicious?

Where am I going?
Why to bed of course!
Did you think I was serious?
This is late night delirium
At it's best
Or is it worst?

When times are dark
Look for the light
Tomorrow is a new day
Just takes a little fight

I like the little mystery of you.
It excites and teases my soul.
I'd love to see you in full view.
In dreams I can see your mole.
(I'm sure you must have one?

Thank you for your comment. It made me laugh. I have two moles that I know of. One on my face near my lip and nose and the other in a place that I can not see. LOL. Only in pics. Ha! 😉
