Daydreaming

Day 15

As I fell asleep last night
I wondered why I’m not happy

I have the life I daydreamed of for years

This love is true and doesn’t hurt
My body is home enough 
I don’t think about the jeans I wore in high school
The truce I brokered between myself hasn’t cracked open

But if being is realizing that there will always be something missing
Why can’t we help but swim straight towards
The glittering temptation of new haunting our horizons

I haven’t been given a map for this
Even though I wouldn’t use it if I had one

I hope to catch up and post poems for Days 13 and 14! Either way, I will continue to write daily. I’m away from home until Thursday and forgot my laptop, so we’ll see if I can post daily…thank you for sticking with me.
