The Further Down, The Less You Can See

jo

So sick and tired
of these mind games.
Have you checked your email?
Has that subject heading,
“You’re accepted,”
appeared in your inbox?
Has that SMS,
“U R gr8”
got through to your mobile yet?
Has the phone rung
with caller ID of,
“I want to talk to you”
yet?
Are you up to date?
Is your connection up to speed?
Is there room
for what you’re waiting for?
Waiting.  Watching.
Concerned.  Disconcerted.
Not enjoying what exists,
only agonising over what could be.
Losing perspective.  Losing days.
Unhealthy.
Digging, searching.
But the further down, the less you can see.

    Hmmm if this is for real - a part of your life ... then...
    When you're in a hole that deep, stop digging.

    Love the concept & your modern style. Keep experimenting & expanding minds - I'd like to read more from you x

    Now there's a salutary warning about social media if ever I've read one....

    No matter how deep you dig that hole if you just look up the light is there for you so start to climb towards the light.
