Benitoo

So many mistakes
Which seem inevitable in the course of trying
I was only trying to be
But I've made people mad
And made others cry
Hurt myself beyond repair
And I can see some of the future
Mistakes I'll make
Because I'm stubborn
Or because I don't know what else
to do?

This little fortune cookie poem I wrote about a year ago. I keep it because I like it. Not because it feels pervasively true. The meaning it had for me then is a world apart from its meaning to me now.
Lost in Time
Yearning for Love
Fighting for Life
Swimming in Dreams
