Lost In A Lawn Chair 1 day ago

What if my destiny is set,
My future charted and already sailed?
What if,
No matter what I do,
Or what choices I make,
I am fated to fail?
These words haunt me
Now more than ever
Here at the close of a chapter
I wish had never been written,
Even as I mourn its ending.
They are a bookmark
To remind me of my place in this Life,
Beyond which I may never go.

They are the stars under which I was born.

In one single moment,
Everything can change.
These words had belonged to her.
They were meant to raise me above my troubles,
But like everything else in my life,
Even this simple truth was a paradox.
Yes,
Everything did change in that…
One…
Horrible moment,
But at the same time
It cemented the sad reality in which I existed.
It was the same old, same old.
I really should have seen it coming,
But she had blinded me,
Had me believing that things could get better—
Would get better.
Like a snake oil salesman
Selling a bottled panacea,
She had me convinced I could be healed.

She lied.

I know it’s not very fair of me to say that,
But right now
I’m not feeling very fair.



Buy a share in a thoroughbred horse (read all 36 entries…)
Okay... 1 day ago

This Saturday, in the ninth race, White Balance will have a chance to redeem himself. This is it, the perfect race! He’s in an outside post, and it’s a mile and sixteenth for the distance. It’s a slightly higher class than what he was in last time, but it is well within his ability to win this one.
I guess it’s just a matter of wait and see.

Fate 3 days ago

It’s the cross I must bear
My personal millstone
The goblet of hemlock
To be drunk all alone
The snake in my garden
Is the Eve of my heart
The hope and the horror
That destroys what I start
It’s fear and it’s feeling
And it fills me each day
Screaming my failures
While blocking my way
The loss and the longing
Loudly echo inside
The pain and the passion
Every time we collide
It‘s in each of the words
I so carefully choose
It’s reflected in games
Which I always shall lose
This opportunity
That I never can take
This chance in a million
That I never will make
