This jellybean jar is full
Guess how many there are
Hundreds? Thousands?
Pours out and disbands
*
Betcha didn’t see that coming
Now it’s considered something
So why build up
Just to tear down
*
When so severely damaged
It’s a miracle to have managed
Often it must face demolition
With the rebuild put on exhibition
*
It was never meant to be
A jar full of jellybeans
This grand jar was meant to encompass
Something magical and wondrous
*
Today it simply holds a mirror
It helps to see things a little clearer
Revealing who you have become
Was the greatest magic ever done

Turning Pages of Life
Life’s like a book — some parts are good, others not so much. Still, keep turning the pages; you might find the best chapter next. If someone hurts you, choose to forgive or just let it be, but never change who you are for them.

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.
