Getting Out Of A Fixation Poem by RIC BASTASA

the exit is just within your view.
it is daily and you do it
and you become so engrossed
so you forget yourself
it is overflowing and then
you get so bored
and you do not feel like doing the same things all over again.

it is not like fetching water from the well.
something that you easily understand as seeding and planting
and harvesting.
it is something personal and you need not ask some more.

i get over it.
and now i am free
do not ask some more i said
i have risen above it
and that is the most important thing that happened to me
today.

i get over you. No sadness.
no dramatic goodbyes. Just plain and simple
freedom. Release from fear
and pain.

in love, i am reborn.
get over with me.
and take another chance
with someone else.

another menu
in the resto. another drink.
and then be drunk
and be in the dancing mood.

just that. just that.
keep going.
for now, i do not really care.
this is my life and finally i got it
within my grasp.
