How to Find the Time
In the Past
You were always supportive
Even up to yesterday
You tried to help someone else
Giving them an opportunity of a lifetime
Everyone looking at you
Like you have two heads
They have a lot more of experience and money
If anyone can make it happen
You knew they would be the ones
Never giving yourself the confidence and faith
Always letting the skeltons in the closet
Get the best of you
In the past your track record was poor
Everything you tried
Never seemed to make it
It is like you are under a dark cloud
Wherever you go it is going to rain
You are over looked for raises and promotions
Not because you don't disserve it
It is because they can
Meanwhile, someone less deserving gets it
Somehow it is once again your fault
For not speaking up
You know if you spoke up
You could cause waves and rock the boat
Then the same people who should help you
Make life a living hell
Once again you are reminded
Not to speak up
Not to people what you really think
Because they don't want to hear it
Even if it is true
The unheard of
Silent and unwritten rules
So instead you become a follower
Not a leader
You think a lot
Dream more than anyone
Have endless energy when others slowly fade
You have found ways to create your own desire
Fulfill your dreams in your mind
Keep living in a fantasy world
Building up your hopes and plans
Until one day
You give it a try
No more waiting
It is time
To succeed

DREAM ON (author) on July 25, 2019:
Today is the day. Happiness for me is more than just a feeling it is a way of life. If every day you wake up excited and carry that fun. laughter, and love for life then that is all I need. You have to be happy to keep the happiness thriving. Not only on the outside where everyone sees it but on the inside where nobody knows but you. I see how happy you are in Florida and it seems to work for the moment. Wishing you a deep and fulfilling life. Where ever you are and no matter what direction you turn. Thank you so much for all your support and kindness. Have a fabulous night.

I am happy right now at the stage I am at, time will tell if I need to reconsider and move on.
