The List Keepers
Published in
1 min readMay 9, 2018
Filled with desire to do differently
Yet the wounded parts still need tending
Dreamy memories of happier times
A fleeting moment of feeling REAL
The frantic search for connection
We glimpse it here and there
But quick! Onto the next task
We are masters of keeping lists
A battle between acceptance and change
When to feel secure and when to rise up
But needless to say, we return to it
This nagging desire to DO differently
Safe serenity
Hear me reach out
Make me FEEL real
And make it last.
