Nine Years

5/27/07

I've stared at that same spot on the floor
every day for nine years now.
It never changes.
Could it be that I've spend a third
of my life here since
I walked through this door?

Though it's not reality, part of me
feels a sense of ownership
in this place.
Yet in a moment my life
could change and a new adventure
I'd embrace.

Good days-bad days-
days flew by without fanfare...
and I'm sitting here
facing that same spot
with the same blank stare.
