Times like These (Anything Blog)
There are times like these
Where everything works.
Times like theses
Where you feel unstoppable
Capable of reaching the top of a flagpole
Sixty feet high.
A time where you feel the ecstasy
Of lifting your hands off the handle bars
For the first time.
At times like these,
You are no longer the misfit peg
Unable to mesh with the inner gears
Of the grandfather clock.
Time like these
Have finally come.
Worry has washed away
From whom I will sit with at lunch
The butterflies have finally ceased fluttering
Inside my stomach.
Panic attacks have stopped occurring
When stressing for tests the next day
Now I am more capable with coping
At times like these.
Self respect and self worth
Have come to mind when making decisions
I am more sure
Of who I want to be.
All the times that haven’t been
Have made the times like these
All the more enjoyable.
Because when you are living
Your dreams,
Times like these
Have never felt any better.

I hope you keep all your poetry. One day, you will look at this and remember, almost palpably, the growing up years! I really like the poetry and can almost hear a song! Are you an instrumentalis of any kind? If so, tyr setting it to music if you want…it might be really wonderful.
