metamorphis

love people
love company
or maybe it should read "loved"
it's kind of strange
or at least a revelation
I considered myself "social"
now am not so sure
unsure
hesitant
and it's not about acceptance
maybe I expect too much
somehow making plans
the anticipation
brings with it a dark side
something lurking from the back of my mind
making me think
what if it's not fun
what if it's boring
what if I'm still lonely in a crowd
worse still what if I don't feel like it
and still have to go along
go through the motions
maybe it's the planning
maybe that just kills it
am still blown away by the magic of conversation
maybe I just crave spontaneity 
something impromptu
at the spur of the moment
hard in these busy times
where everyone is booked ahead for months
and it takes 20 sms's to plan ahead
so guess what am trying to say
is no wonder my favorite free time is exactly that
Free Time - nothing planned
Perfection!

drawing a line_________

at what point do you draw the line
change track completely
cut off all ties
start afresh
take a risk
change everything
venture into the unknown
so much written about
but at what point do you actually
Believe
Take the plunge
Make a change
I see meticulously planned people
and wonder at them
in awe
in amazement
in incomprehension
perhaps I was like them once
grand plans
big dreams
that's not me
well at least not been me for a while
I just jump in the deep end and hope for the best
leave it to fate
late realization
that I leave far too much to chance
But really,
At what point do you draw the line?

Don't Care

She didn't care what others thought
For they were their thoughts
She had enough of her own to care about
To postulate
To ponder
Yeah you could throw words at her
Like knives
Stick them in
Cos behind the tough exterior
She was a shell of nothingness
For if we don't feel
What are we?

Kindness

Random acts of kindness
Is there such a thing
Are they random
Or is there an expectation within
Does that make it unkind
Expectation
Should we expect
Is that being selfish
If we all acted in self interest
Where would the pleasure in pleasing others go?
