Nick Trim Poet Rhyme

Unforesight

I didn’t have the foresight to see this path looming back in my twenties
In hindsight the weed undoubtedly caused these empties 
I didn’t anticipate living lost and lonely hollow as if my soul disowned me 
in traditional terms evil got me, 
not to spread hell attack or harm, 
no, but hold me inactive, self sabotage its firearm

wear me numb, 
just a subtle pain keeps me too lazy to run, 
submissive, while exploitation of my foresight, 
to prevent me have one. 

forever falling but a fear now forming 
through an idea of life before me unfolds
no longer allow what went before to stall proceedings 
holding me down from rewards life can forge

ten years of the chapters staying the same in this story, 
can’t stay dormant, 
I need to plan ahead my future’s most important, 
I just want common glory

I didn’t take the opportunities offering themselves as they usually appeared in my twenties, I didn’t anticipate the options empty, now I think I missed all the chances, dread fills my anxiety kills

I need actions real, activity to feed positivity bring an inner smile, confidence to breed a social scene cus empty ain’t my style, 

release and unhold any dislike or grudge for people, empty my mind of those past aggrievances focus forward and forward focus

Rhona Mcferran June 19, 2019 at 8:23 PM I can empathize... my twenties were a complete waste, with some opportunities I will never recover. But life has a way of presenting new paths from time to time... so the best we can do is kick ourselves into high gear & make the most of whatever we can now! Another great write! ;)
