Inbetween

The disappointment is less that is for sure…

I am learning to live with less

To expect less

To need less 

Can you feel the change?

Where once I was spoilt for choice

Now I go without

There are days when there is nothing

Nothing but the functionary response expected

It has already begun

The lack of emotion remains unnoticed

The monotone overlooked

I respond and it is accepted

Much like Pavlov’s dog

I dreaded the start

One brick at a time

One breath at a time

Closing it in

Building it strong

Yet now I long for the completion

 

As it grows I become stronger

The naysayer insists there will be a price

They cannot possibly know that I owe nothing

My toll paid in full many moons ago

 

Has it occurred to you yet?
