To Be or Not To Be

A little kingdom I possess,
Where thoughts and feelings dwell;
And very hard the task I find
Of governing it well.
~ Louisa May Alcott

...that more or less describes my situation!

~A Wise Man Said~

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

I wish…

Sometimes little

And sometimes too much

Like a beggar

Who thinks

Even a little goes a long way

And then like a queen

For whom a feast must be a feast of record

I yoyo

Oscillate

In my head

And in my heart

Sometimes angry, stung

And then compliant, indulgent

I wish…

To be

Proud, haughty

Churlish even

But what are the chances

You’d notice?

My airs and graces

And then

I couldn’t bear

If you turned away

A risk

Not worth the taking…
