Hopscotch

Position: square one. Displacement: beyond measure.

I went through the motions: the hoping, waiting and wondering. I passed the anxiety, anger and panic. Frustration, check. Worry, check. Bated breath, check.

Fleeting happiness, renewed optimism, interspersed between all the negativity, at the slightest shift in sequence.

The decision, the outcome, the implications. And finding my way back to where I began.

Things don't always work out the way you want them to. Why couldn't this time be different though?
