Poem Title:
Poem
The world keeps spinning on, but I wish it could go backward instead. Who have I become, where have I gone? I don't even know what goes on inside my own head. I am not this person I have become, I never was and thought I never would be. This is someone else, This is not me. My priorities have shifted, I value things that once meant very little. I search for things to fill the gap, but only find things that are noncommittal. Happiness in one night packages, is what fills my life now. I'm not sure why, I'm not sure how. I want more, but do I deserve it? This battle is repeated inside my head, but I will never truly admit it. I know I could do more I know I could be greater. But in my own head, I am a master debater. I'm so afraid of failing, that while I hide that's exactly what I'm doing. I have so many hopes and dreams, but are any of them even worth pursuing? What if I fall flat on my face? In front of everyone I know and love? But then again I could be better than I expect, go beyond and above. You never know what the future holds, only what has happened in the past. In order to make your future what you want, you better live in the present while it lasts. Seize each day, and do what makes you happy. For no one can see what lays ahead, whether it be great or crappy. I may not know who I have become, but I do know who I want to be. I want to be present in my life, no more being an absentee. The past is the past, and the future lays before us. The old me, I will repossess.
