Sad

Closures and departures always make me feel sad. I know most of the time it pays to be wiser than happier. It's just that I'm already so tired of asking "what if" questions. Somebody rescue me. And I mean it this time. I'm tired of being Super Woman. It would be good to be Cinderella, for a change. Come and rescue me my dear Prince Charming. Forget about Joi Barrios and her poems about sissy Prince Charmings that never show up.

I don't need anyone to slay my dragons for me. I just need someone who'll hold me while I do it for myself. I've realized I'm strong and wise enough to slay dragons butnot strong enough to be alone forever.

For a very special person: I'm sad right now because you're one of the few people who really know and understand me, no matter how complicated I may be.
