Red Reality

I’m like a ball of yarn ready to be knitted But I’m not sure If loose or form fitted Souls would be best I wrestle with myself How can I be a better person When I am so self absorbed Always wanting to be free Yet enjoying the fruits of Union Wanting a kiss Yet desiring virgin lips I’m a walking contradiction With a multitude of different Afflictions Yet I still believe that There’s someone perfect For me That I just have to breathe And persevere despite fears That I am really better Off alone I’m not really afraid of solitude But somehow growth Seems more exciting And more enticing in twos I overthink about things Happy to imagine I’d likely never be Satisfied with red reality So the jokes on me

I enjoyed reading your wonderful "Red Reality" write. Someone comes when we are Not look. Volunteer groups may help you meet other like minded people or church. Have a blessed/wonderful spring day.........

Funny you say that! I’m volunteering at an Arts Event from 8pm till 1am this Friday but my goal is to help raise money for the arts! I meet lots of men just not my type so far!

Karen, it is indeed a pickle! What are we to do when lonely and thinking about our lives and what to do kind of like our mission? I know you have a good heart and will be in great shape provided you follow it. At least you express a sense of humor about our human condition. The ball of yarn is a good analogy. There are so many options for what to make from it. (BTW, a lot of work) It's very poetic!! Smiles!!

Hi Duke I’m not lonely but I’d like to have a companion for trips and such. I am looking back on my life and realizing I didn’t date because single motherhood took over at age 21. Now I’m older and available is all. Hugs
