The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

In My Head

An itch that won’t be fixed
A need that I can’t feed
Desire to feel the fire
But cold and growing old

It seems, I won’t be pleased
A contradicting task
My feening won’t be eased
I’m starting to truly grasp

I study the grass on the other side
Blinded from the green of my own
I orchestrate, yet another drive
Further away from home

Repeatedly packing
To escape inner lacking
Has proven to others 
I am over reacting

Each time I run farther
But it only gets harder
To embrace my modest purpose
As an idea starter

'No matter where we go, we take 'us' with us!' A wise friend of mine told me that once. I tried the running away, but it never worked. Some people just have a highly-tuned and delicate nervous system, and it hurts when things get jangled. I hope you will find peace! Peace and Blessings!

Sometimes, we just need to go with the flow. Well penned.
