NaPoWriMo 2026 – Day 29/30

If that's what you wanted, I went.
Now, the only place I'm going is home.

Love was paying for dinner.
Now its an arm around my shoulders.

I ticked boxes I didn't agree with.
Now I leave them empty.

I walked alone through the dark.
Now I double-check the locks.

Forever was choosing who I'd become
Now I count what I missed.

I still measure myself against others.
Some habits don't ask permission to stay.

I like to think I'm a story teller. I love stories. I believe the world is filled with stories just waiting to be told and learned. I enjoy travelling down the road less travelled, with my iPhone and journal in each hand. Here you'll find all my poetic musings... Enjoy!

Thanks for reading! What did you think?
