I Hate My Cell Phone

For the second time
in less than 6 months
my cell phone stopped
letting the charger
recharge the battery

For the second time
in less than 6 months
I spent a great deal
of time (that I would spent at the pool)
in a Cell phone provider store

For the second time
in less than 6 months
I have a new cell phone

For the second time
in less than 6 months
I have lost all phone numbers

and now I have also lost
all text messages
and some of them
SOME OF THEM
I was not ready to lose

It is hard watching
things you want to keep
or remember
or hold on to
slip away over time
and yet

it is true that
things change with time
and sometimes
I am ready for the change
and sometimes I am
JUST NOT READY

Like a child
not wanting
to part with their
security blanket

I found myself
wishing I didn't
have to lose all
that was in
a stinking
electronic device
that I rely on
every minute of the day...
and yet, it was time
to let it go,
even though I still wish I hadn't.

On the other hand,
I was much more calm
and able to attend
to the task
with out an SOS
call and
no advice from others
regarding how I should
handle it...

so
I guess God wanted me
to let some things go
and
take care of myself
without calls for help

and I did...

but I still hate
my cell phone

Things come and things go as people do in our lives.
Cell phones can be replaced and saved messages...well the ones that are important you never forget and the hurtful ones are better lost.
I cant wait for my next cell phone at the end of the year.
You could have my old one :)

the phone is fine, I am fine, I will live without history in my text messages... it was time to let go anyway...

yes it is! What's been said is a lie anyway...bring on the truth.

Bennu said...

The problem with the lie, well, it is that I believed it, and I may not be able to, in my heart, admit it was a lie... but my head, yeah, my head knows...
