It's Likely,







That at some point in your life,you've felt happiness stronger than anyone












eles could have possibly began to comprehend,or at least,that's how you







saw it.

It's possible,










That at some point in your life,you felt like you were completely







required for another human's survival,like you were everything they could







possibly need,and you,felt the same for them.They had obtained your









your heart,and you owned theirs.


And it's definite,

That at some point in your life,you've felt terror and fear so great and







uncomrehensible,you felt like there was no returning to safety,ever again.









It's also,all of the above,that along the way,you came to an abrupt hault.





A very sudden unexpected sharp little pause.Could have been strolling along,





maybe picking out the next box of cereal for you to devour at the old market,





or maybe you were sitting alone on that old matted up sofa with the broken





spring.Wherever you were,you came to an explosive hault.Your life just,paused





for a breif moment,and you began to let your mind wander freely for the first time





in quite some time.Contemplating life,where its taken you,where its morbidly





abandoned you.Times of triumph and glory,and those times you couldn't seem





to convince yourself it was worth toppling out of bed.But,then you felt..empty.





Like a star exploded amongst you,and a little black hole was in it's early stages.





Where's the excitement you once craved daily?The love you haven't felt in such a





depressingly long time? Look where you've let 'life unravel itself' to.





You swore to her the excitement and fortune would find you,right where you sat





that night,enjoying Comedy Central's late night specials,and chowing away at





that bowel of canned ravioli's.Wish you would have listened?She chased down her





dreams.You let your's dissappear quietly in the background as you 'enjoyed life





as it came.' Nice job,proud of where you are? I hope so.Maybe if you wait another





two decades,this time your dreams will climb your way to the top for you.





I'm guessing you're the type that strives on this type of hope. Good luck,old friend.

Just working on my metaphoric type skills.Not exactly impressive.But I tried to add in a moral this time;Your dreams won't come looking for you.
