loaded thoughts
it plagues me sometimes
this persistent belief
maybe...
the best some of us can ever hope to achieve
is a fleeting sense of almost peace
mistrusted...
because history has proven
it has sharp teeth
& allowing our guard down
is like peeling the skin off our frames
leaving us raw
doesn't stop us trying
reaching for the grail in the fire
never know...
what if one day we attain it...

Nothing ventured nothing gained indeed. I enjoyed this introspective offering, Willow.

My mind is cluttered these days. Takes forever to clear out corners, I swear

Dear WW.
Loaded thoughts reminds me a lot of “hope” with a side order of Maybe’s and what if’s.
“because history has proven
it has sharp teeth” is brilliant. A great reminder to pay attention to it.
This poem has me stoking the fires a bit as I think similarly in this process. A bit of a deep dive into life’s greater outcomes. I really appreciated the perspective of this piece. H 🌷

It depends on the day. Some days the pendulum swings toward hope...others it goes the other way. As long as it's still swinging, so will I! Thank you so much

Those almost peace moments are bliss though. The sip that keeps us drinking. Thank you so much, sis 💖
