My Best Life Is Just Waiting For Me
To make the necessary changes
There’s so much I want to do in my life
And I am well aware it’s totally up to me,
If I could make certain changes to my days
My Best Life is just awaiting patiently.
***
I know I should make the effort to go out more
Especially to expand my circle of friends,
I find the idea absolutely terrifying
So I live my life and continue to pretend.
***
My Best Life would be a little closer
If I was to become more active physically,
Exercise, yoga, dance the night away
But by days end I’m exhausted typically.
***
I would like to free up some time
To spend helping out people in need,
Volunteering in some small way
Find some sort of purpose indeed.
***
Travel more, learn about different cultures
Spend more time in nature to de-stress,
Start that new hobby I’ve dreamed of
Practice gratitude and know I’m blessed.
***
Change my everyday job and career
Or better yet, resign and happily retire,
Explore more of our beautiful country
Spend a lot more time around a campfire.
***
If I still want to work or make a living
Do so in a more creative and artistic way,
Write, renovate houses or flip furniture
All projects I want to try some day.
***
But besides all of my thoughts above
If I was truly brutally honest I’d not deny,
To live my life, my absolute Best Life
My people skills need to be modified.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
