How long will I wait?
How long will I drag myself through the mud before I realize the hands waiting for me to finally take the bait.
How long will I wallow before I swallow the pain?
Tell myself or rather convince myself that I am exactly where I need to be, I am experiencing all that I need to see in order to reach higher ground where something finally feels right, where I am not up all night searching for control.
I am a shadow of who I used to be due to lack of trust, allowing myself to slowly be eaten away…
turning into rust, fading away into dust.
Today is tomorrow’s consequences, sacrifices, and results; So how do I find a way to live in the moment without getting lost? Life can go quick yet slow when you are looking for immediate gratification rather than long term satisfaction.
In order to continue on… I must accept where I am now; quit making a home out of the past, look at myself in the mirror and somehow begin to understand that I come first not last.
How long will I hold onto this sorrow before I begin to think about my tomorrow’s
How long will I continue to run before I stop to smell the roses, lay back and let the sun kiss away my past, present, and future.
Allow me some bliss, answer me this:
How long will I wait?

Hello there! I'm ashl I love writing poetry, the main source to express the inside onto the outside, or essays as a conversation between you and me in order to hear myself better at times.
On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.
