I ask God so many questions because I just want to know what it all means. Looking over life wondering how women can take on so many roles. We have pushed up those around us while not losing sight of our own goals. I wasn't prepared for this life with so many fires to put out.

    Another year has come and gone, The time of year we make goals for ourselves. Goals, that we fail to keep, for instance: Plans to lose weight and not stay up too late, Save money and spend less, Not to make our lives such a mess. That we will be more loving and peaceable, And not always feel right. That we will admit to our wrongs, And refuse to fuss and fight. That we won’t fail, but will try, That we will be truthful and not lie. Why do fool ourselves into making resolutions? Because...we are human.

So when determining anything I use grace to allow my heart to decide. It would really be to the glory if together we all are adorned on the very same stage. Many of us share experiences of the road less traveled so it encourages others to omit the fear that is created with the decision of change.

There is more to the commitment that becomes convoluted with spoken word. Is a relationship an investment of merely time. Does me being absent from your presence make my existence sublime. Did I disappear because my voice faded in the dark. Am I nonexistent because you couldn't feel my heart. Can we grow together?

Swollen eyes slightly ajar decorate my face which is without Emotion as time has removed the color for remorse to take its place.
