Poem
Center Stage It's hard to know exactly where to start. It's even harder not to think too hard or tear yourself apart. Life's not supposed to be easy, but it's not supposed to be living, waking hell. It's supposed to get better but the path is just too hard to tell. It's moments like these that are close to anyone's heart. There's a light there, at the end of it all. No more distance, no more brick walls. No more heart-wrenching realities or cold hard truths. You are the living proof. It's not about what you want or what you think you need. Chances are it's nothing like what you dreamed. Chances are it's the nightmare you never expected to meet. It's the neighbor next door or the strange familiar on the side of the street. Don't get too curious and don't get too close. That's when the unexpected happens the most. It's the one thing you never thought would be enough. It will be your strength when you have none left. It will be where your endless hope and joy are kept. It will be the reservoir that holds every tear you ever wept. The one and only thing you must accept. It's a new paradigm this time. It's a new way. It won't ever be the same each day. Some days you'll feel like you're more than alive and others you'll feel as if you're about to fade away. Sometimes, it's simply hard to stay on that ever increasing oceanic wave. There will always be the memory of who you are and where you were. There will always be more days to learn from one's mistakes. You don't need a beyond perfect score. You just need to do all you possibly can. Remember where you've walked and when you ran. Forget about the tiny details and leave the rest. It will always be a search for a different quest. It will always turn out for the better and then the best. It will always be what you never thought you could find. It will be the very best of the very best kind. It will be that incredibly fine line you can't believe you had all this time. It's a lesson to forever save. It will teach you how to play your part when you can't find your heart. It will be that moment when you bow your head and pray. No where to begin. No where to end. The words in your heart will be the words you say. Maybe now, you'll understand how to begin and where to start. It's not about being perfect, being smart, or tearing the pieces of yourself apart. It's about finding and being close to your own heart.
