The Alternative
The words erupting from my mouth
In an impressive display of verbal Tiddlywinks
Are in direct contrast to the emotions in my heart.
My brain is strangely silent
And I believe it may have lost its will to function.
My mouth pantomimes 'go,'
My hands struggle to grasp onto something solid,
And I realize what a horrible mistake has been made.
Maybe, just maybe, there is an alternative solution
To be found in this puzzle.
Maybe I won't break another heart.
But what if that is the only way toward my goal?
I will have to find another alternative, then.
There are always options.
I know that monotonous
I know that monotonous grinding feeling.
We all make horrible mistakes. The hard part is not to think about them too much. Sometimes all we really need is a change of scenery. A change of venue.
But if we stay anyplace too long, that's when the monotonous grinding feeling starts up again.
We only grow, while keeping our lives slightly uncomfortable. It's like splashing our face with cold water – it keeps us awake. Staying too long in a little town, can put you to sleep.

I just loved your popcorn kernel comment and had to say something. You're funny, Lady A.

A Kernel For Your Thoughts
I wish Kalika would give us a grain or two more - but she says everything so well in what she has elected to share. I'm glad you read her too. I read her and learn (not easy). She is a gem, a pearl or a diatom, jury is still out (smile) ~~A~~
