My eyes see you so they think
'I want to be you' my heart speaks
Alone I sit as time passes by
Wanting and hoping for it to begin.
Will I choose you, as you have me?
I didn't ask, there was no move
Thrust into life to perform a dance
Unchoreographed and unrehearsed.
Alone we come in, alone we depart
In between so many come through and pass
Anyone of them could be the one
To end it all or start anew
So many risks to consider to face
how can I move with this much fear?
Held in place it all moves on
Is it fair to place us here?
What is gone moves among us still
Ghosts of the past at the wheel
Leading our feet where they have been
All is worn, nothing comes fresh
Repeated and mutated and packaged again
Hoping for something to fall in lap
Unable to act, unable to turn back
Stuck in the middle, glued in place.
All that once was will come once again
The curves just illusion, all is straight
Laid out in front no options to choose
Unable and unwilling to make better use
Dreaming so big yet acting so small
I want it all but is all I deserve?
Should I first serve before seeking more?
Another door, no foot to put in.
Should it all come around over
Can I do better than what I have done?
I may not have chosen the life I received
but where it leads is mine to discover
Own it all or hand it on to another
Turn the handle or pick the lock
Giving up is an option we all face
But so is giving it another knock.

I feel this is me more often than I'd want to.

I think it is many of us and I am hoping that we can all do a little better. Perhaps we just need to get kicked a little more ;)

Does anyone else have this sensation late at night when you're laying in bed and you get the need and energy to do so much and start planning what you wanna start doing and changing the next day, then in the morning you either forget it all or completely lose motivation?
I hate that. Like, why do you do this to me, brain? :D

These day, I get so little sleep I just collapse :)
In all serious, yes, I did used to get it but like I have said to you before, starting working at those things and you will sleep much better. 2018 is going to be awesome I hope but, it isn't going to take care of itself.

I need to get more organized for 2018, or hire an organizer or something. :P
What a weird word - organized. Cause organs are organized?
Yeh I should try getting some sleep... :D

What an ending. This is relatable to everyone about everything. Work, school, relationships, hobbies, passions, everything. It's amazing how a few words put together can bring ideas that are so powerful.

"What is gone moves among us still

I'm lost for words, that was beautiful. I resonated with so many of the internal conflicts that are within the questions you asked of yourself.
I do want it all but the real question is am I willing to do what's require of me to get it. Also is the risk worth the reward. Can I ask an odd question? Do you work outside of Steemit? I mean think I'm asking if your self employed?
As i told your brother @galenkp, I'm really not a stalker I just thoroughly enjoy yours and his writting styles and the varied topics you cover. Not to mention its how I found #teamaustralia which has introduced me to many other awesome Steemians.

Another stalker? ;)
Team Australia is a pretty good community I think and it has been steadily growing which is fantastic to see.
Yes, I have a one-person business consultancy for personnel skill development. Let's just say that I don't really get a lot of sleep (it is 3am now) between work, steemit and family life but they all feed each other and I am hooping that through a few years of hard work, I can create the space for a nap occasionally. :)
I see you commenting a lot which is great to see. Actually, you just posted on my sister-in-law's blog too. @seabreeze

Ah! good to know that mate. So, I suspect what the best gift from me to you could be the next Christmas Eve or earlier. Hahaha
Perhaps, even send you the first one above, jointly with a handful of models more portables to always carry one of them in your pocket or backpack. :)

I would love to spend an afternoon in one of those. Do they come fur-lined?

Well, fur-lined probably not. But I could order them with a very furry and fluffy teddy bear if you like. :)

Lol, It's a small world, at least I'm keeping my stalking in the family.
3am wow, I feel hung over if im up past midnight and I dont even drink. I do love a good nap though and hope you find some time to rest in the near future.
