a poem

It was never your intention
to leave me feeling like I could not be
all that I could be

You tried to egg me on
to show me the greatness
you saw in me

I know you have always
thought I could be more

You were frightened
that I might end up
just like you (would that be so bad?)

You feel you failed me
by making the mistakes
that most folks do

Your only failure was
to dismiss all I am

I'm saying goodbye
to all I'm not
I think that you can too.

things to do before I'm 30

Yup - I am having a bit of a crisis as the final year of my 20s flies towards me. Oh, the things I thought I would have seen and done by now... but time and circumstance (and let's face it, laziness) have left that list pretty much undone.

Not to be deterred, I have already begun my "Things to do Before I'm 40" list (well, I've started thinking about it), but I still have a nagging feeling that there are things that I'll regret not doing this coming year.
