Poem
I am in my mid twenties and life is slowing down, I guess I am maturing, but I don't like the turn around. Acquaintances today, don't know who I used to be, wild, crazy, adventurous, dangerous, above all, free. It started with a break up, because she found a new hub, I was depressed, so my uncle asked me to bounce at his night club. I was a teen, just a young pup, quickly things started to look up. After a month everyone knew my name, So many beautiful women, I put Hef to shame. Don't paint me wrong, with them I did not sleep, but from there on, life started to get deep. One night, God let an angel descend, wait I know her, she is an old friend, When we started to talk, we clicked and everything was right. For the next few years, I swear, we owned the night. No matter where we went, we were VIP, for the first time, people wanted to be me. It felt like the more people I got to know, the further from reality, I did go. A few bad habits formed along the way, In that life, that goes without say. Loud music, fast cars, whatever you need, this is the life I thought I wanted to lead. A few run-ins with the law, my friends paid the bail, One night I didn't come home, they put me in jail. That moment made me think about my life and that scene, I said goodbye and for five years I've been clean. I wasn't on anything major, I'll let you think, but it is something that made my life quickly sink. I do miss all the stares and the, “who is that guy?” and doing what I pleased without being asked why. I do miss it, because I had it all, looking back on it though, I made the right call.
