A After B

A After B

A Poem by Sunset Girl

Who ever said

That you’d know;

That there would

Be a plan;

That event B

Would happen after A

And then C would follow

 

What if

They were wrong?

That you wouldn’t

Just know;

What if

Things

Don’t fall into place?

 

Just because A happened

 Doesn’t mean B will;

There’s a chance

That B will happen.

There’s a chance

You don’t want B now too;

Or that the plan changed

And B is no longer an option

 

Regardless

Why does B have to follow A?

Why do we work

So hard at something

Only to see

The outcome

Isn’t what we wanted

 

What if

We don’t just know

Where we want to end up

Or there are too many places

We want to be.

 

What if B after A

Doesn’t make sense

~ can i just start by saying that this has to be one of your best pieces from my perspective ? ... i kinda got disconnected with the real world in my country in 2007... (meaning that all attempts to reconnect since have failed)... so this topic really, really fascinates me... ~ my two cents... it's about the journey and not the destination... when we give up on attaining a certain "outcome", we must have the courage to accept that we have given up... ~ through this process, i have arrived at that cause (as of april 2013) which seems like a cause that'll be my cause (reason for existence) for the rest of my life... and actually has been... since a really long time... except that i was too distracted to notice it... it's like this underlying theme of my life that escaped my own attention...

Writing can help one express what they can't seem to explain verbally. My poems are mostly about life, love and relationships. I started writing more when I thought people just wouldn't understand me.. more..
