Secrets From A Writer's Notebook
Piper Davenport
I had a dream that my father died and my mother and I were homeless.
I had another dream that I was asked to leave school . . . for good.
See, I couldn't be what they wanted me to be and I was letting fear
hold me back from living the kind of life that I always wanted.
I think the best possibilities are the ones that are the most uncertain
and full of promise.
I liked this man for a really long time but I never told anyone and I
hid my feelings and especially from him cause I was scared. So scared
that I flirted and pretended to like other men just to throw him off.
But now the man is gone and I wonder if it was a mistake? I wonder if I
did indeed do the right thing?
But we were such different people and I wonder if I would have arrived
at the same place if I had made another choice. I think of words that
have power and meaning but those words no longer give me the same feelings?
A dear friend told me to follow my intuition and I arrived at the following:
I am scared of the future, afraid of being alone and trying not to worry about being worried.
I can't think about that now . . . I have to just keep dreaming and yet,
I am a strong person.
I am a new woman.
I think facing these things and renewing my spirit are my themes for this year.
If I can overcome what holds me back, then I am ready for anything.
Possibilities, I wonder.
