Renegade Renegade
I was born into a world that no longer exists.
I was dealt this hand when my life began,
then and there.
Convinced, cajoled, and directed into treaties and agreements by threats, guilt,
intimidation, and false promises;
when given limited control, I reneged.
I wasn’t the liar. Not then.
As days pass, everything changes in us.
Regret and mind past gaps enough to make things right.
“For everything there is a season and a time….”
Our Literary Journey 
No way. You can’t be a liar in the given context.

It’s busy, tell you what! Iain is moving out, my bedroom is being moved to the basement, my old 2nd fridge is out to the curb, my newish is becoming my second and being moved downstairs…
Then, I have to finish packing up the rest of my cupboards because tomorrow morning, the container is being delivered at 5:30 and the demolition starts at 7… No rest for the wicked!

Wishing a pleasant and successful experience. 🙂

And happy Monday to you! I just went to bring the paper plans to my contractor. What a joy to see, once the walls are ripped out that the frame of a wall is wonky and there are illegal electrical shenanigans. Sigh.

I love this write, Bill. The title, everything. It has a real power and passion behind it. I’m afraid I had to “renege” on the challenge this week, ha ha. (Sorry) 🙂
