Times like These (Anything Blog)

April 21st, 2008

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.

    Em–

    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.
