i wish i could
be the person i yearn to be.
i wish i could
write poetry
that i won't be ashamed of in the future
and that i can breathe, exist, and live in short words.
i wish i could
see nature for how it is, look at the many birds
appreciate the life that God laid out for me.
explore
and breathe, exist, and live in trees.
maybe i'll find what i'm looking for.
i wish i could
get lost and tumble into a mess of creation,
flowers,
straight from one's tangled imagination
but at the top of the list is
p o e t r y
and i won't stop rhyming
it's time to face the future
my life is not just a repeat
can i do it for me? can i do it for her?
(crap, i rhymed again.
can i not let go of my childhood?)
why can't i find the model answer,
my moral of life?
and i look up and see
i've written the poetry i desired to write.
and all of my previous words have become
i r r e l e v a n t .
