PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

With an overactive mind

And a heart longing to be fulfilled

I was just a wild one, only nineteen

Wondering then "if it ever will"

I spoke of "super" girls and broken windows,

Car crashes and weddings,

Once upon a times, diamonds galore,

But the one thing I wasn't betting

That more than a decade later

I'd find myself here, wide awake at 1 a.m.

Thinking about life, revisiting this site

And putting it to paper once again

My life isn't what I thought it would be

Nowhere near what I had hoped

Times have changed, and so have I

It's so much better now than I could ever "know"

Would I go back in time, if given the chance

To change what I have done

To introduce myself to the former me

And tell me what direction I should run

The answer would be, no, I'm great where I'm at

with my wife, my daughters, my son

It has taken years to accomplish the things that I have

The silly, the not, and the loved

All these things have shaped me,

Led me down a path I call my own

At the end of the day, when the sun draws near

All I can think about is home
