A Decision

today i give up mending
other people's fences
fixing their gutters and
mowing their lawns,

it is time for me to just
sit back and relax to just
stand and watch,

it is time to tell myself,
' hey, i got my own life to live! '

it is time to be alone and
treat myself a party of its own.
i am packing. The island is waiting.
