As I reflected on my life,
I found myself
reviewing past events.
I made decisions
that I regret.
However, my decisions
brought me
to the present.
The present
is filled
with unhappiness
and despair.
I look in the mirror
and stare.
Where did the time go?
Why am I still standing?
What must I do
to change my circumstances?
Is the life I want
within my reach?
Maybe or
maybe not.
Should I try to change?
Perhaps.
Will it matter?
Possibly.
How do I start?
I must activate
the process
by seeing things
as they are
and not
as I want them to be.
Once I remove
the layers of the past
and embrace the truth
of the present,
the unpeeling begins
and provides
the framework
for the future.
