Stop and Regroup, aka, non-poetic version of where my head is right now is found on my everyday blog, which has become less than planned.

I suppose that post came about this way:

Today

I read a post that made me sad
I read a post that taught us much
I read a post that begged response

I throttled my need to help
I recognized her need to be herself

and though I recognize truth in what she said -
and though I saw our need to circumvent in her
that which we, ourselves, were not ready to face

I could not cannot will not accept as truth that she
has lost much of herself
in the process

for we cannot lose that from which we are
or were,
we can only lose that which we could have become

and with that conclusion I continued my silent
waiting for those feelings to
be absorbed by my subconscious
so they could come out later

and later is now and as I wrote the words above,
the following fell from within:

if maybe I was wrong in my interpretation
and that which she could have become
was in fact the herself she lost
and not the self she was
or is
as I first assumed
for we do not always become
the person we were meant to be
nor is that person always
the person we would want to be
