Sometimes

Sometimes I wish I was a man. I want to be fearless, brave, and daring. I am tired of being cautious, careful, and worrisome. Is there a way to shake this? A man is free to express his thoughts without worry. A man has the freedom to make the rules, "this is how it will be." A woman can, of course, acquiesce...or deny but it is the man who has the boldness to write the rules. I want power, the power to control my destiny. I want courage most of all though, the courage to take the reins.

Two years ago today, we had to tell you goodbye. I had not spent enough time with you. I didn't learn everything I wanted to learn, or get to understand all the things you knew. I miss you, hope you guys found each other. Down here I'm still looking for understanding, clarity, or whatever. You all always understood me, and now you three are gone and it all fell apart for me.
