Back to normal

This week I caught myself thinking 'Hmm, guess life is back to normal.' I mean, after all, my car is beginning to have that lived in feel, I'm back to living at home with my parents, I'm working in some cubicle in an office, and once again I'm wondering what my next steps are. 

But, man, I don't want normal. I don't want the old normal back and I certainly don't want to settle into another routine of comfort. 

So what will be different this time? A renewed sense of purpose?  New goals? I don't want to be bored with life and I certainly don't want to waste it!

So I'm not entirely sure yet. 

What about you? Are you settled into a routine of comfort?

Until next time...

What comes from boredom.

I don't pretend to be a poet. But then again, I wrote a poem, so by definition I am a poet. So let me rephrase, I don't pretend to be a talented poet. Alas, I'm willing to embarrass myself. I'm not really sure it makes sense or flows. Oh well. Regardless, enjoy.

Here I am a-gain

Feeling that same old pain

When will it go away, when will it go away

What is all of this for

This constant knocking at the door

When will it go away, when will it go away

A feeling of needing more

'Cause this life is such a bore

When will it go away, when will it go away

Now you've shown me what I'm worth

What a treasure to unearth

It doesn't go away, it doesn't go away

This bewildering love I must share

Give others a new breath of air

It doesn't go away, it doesn't go away

Lord, thank you for this passion

May it always be my mission

Don't let it slip away, don't let it slip away

Until next time...
