never too late

note:
i wrote this piece weeks ago and for whatever reason was unhappy with my words and decided against posting it...truly forgot about it until i stumbled upon it this morning...shocked myself when i saw the title sitting there in my unpublished posts... i clicked on it to remember what i had to say on the subject because these very words have been toying with my brain to the point that i have been writing a song with the same title...obviously something i'm trying to work out right now...so as you read this, please keep that in mind...it's an unfinished work in progress
i'm so close to figuring it all out
and i will undoubtedly share the findings here
until then
 i will rejoice in the perfect imperfection.

life

a series of

baby steps

toward your genuine self

being true

being real

keeping it real

in a world full of one-liners

cliche or not

it presents its challenges 

within this framework

of self

your mind is on a collision course

between

wants

needs

should's

should-not's

do's

don't-s

throw another being 

into the picture

and the obstacles are doubled

quadrupled!

going beyond self

taking their perspective and feelings

into account

into consideration

filtering

the self

questioning
self

unavoidable.

and
left 

 wondering

what this

being real thing

would look like

chaotic

peaceful

miserable
joyful

i'll let you know
when i get
there.
