Ria April Avalon Poet Rhyme

My True Self

It storms, but I'm going on,
The best ever years are gone,
Another milestone's behind,
I keep all its lessons in mind.

When haunted by shades of regret,
I feel imperceptible fret,
They paint me what once could be mine
Then sink in a bottle of wine.

I cannot erase my mistakes,
Undo them whatever it takes,
I wouldn't get back if I could,
Remorse will not do me much good. 

I'm living between the extremes,
Preferring one aim to all dreams,
I carved my true self out of ice
That turned into stone by surprise.

It's just a new stage of my youth
And since I discovered my truth
I'll stay sober-blooded and smart
And get only younger at heart.

Curtis Moorman November 10, 2018 at 4:16 AM Ria, what a marvelous write! You traced your life back to being youthful again and to me, that is the epitome of positive thinking and believing in oneself regardless of what curves life may throw at them.
