Envisioned the Dream

Every event in your life makes you want to take things into your own hand even more. I try after my divorce.

this, that, whatever I thought I could
with that I had invisioned of
life should look like in my dreams
and that — what has not done —
until I took that
all in my
own hands
now.

I have been divorced since two years. So, that took a lot of energy out of my biological system. I am tired, exhausted actually. But this all also inpsired me to take matter into my own hands from now on.

What situation took you to do things differently? Write a nonet poetry about it.
