Anew

I feel like doing a poem today. Honestly, because its 9:35 PM and I get up for muggle studies (starting with an extra course of mormon class) at 5 AM, and i have alot of emotions to lay out. Because this is the internet- your going to see alot of abstract things, not alot of specifics.

Anew.

Sometimes when i close my eyes
I dream i'm far away
a beach, a river, or a puddle
where i can sink or just decay

I look into the water
to see my reflection blank and sad
because its not really me
being blank is just the fad

Just when i start to drown
and realize i never was alive
I see a hand reaching down
and a child who has just dived

They lift me up without a word
as i sputter choke and cough
I stare at them in bewilderment
but they don't even scoff

"You've pulled me out a million times"
they give me a towel without complaint
then we just watch the sunset
which is prettier then i can paint

Though i have no reason to object
and my life is full of thank(s)
i can't deny it still hurts like hell
to see a reflection blank

But its worth it when i see that child
the child that i raised
dive in the water without fail
without even looking dazed

To think i raised such a family of youngings
so beautiful and new
makes me never want to drown again
It makes me want to feel....
Anew


That's pretty much what i'm feeling.

Nice Thing: Rose is a good role model. She taught me to chase dreams, and what to do when they don't work out, she taught me that life isn't about that one dream, because often when you get there it doesn't work out- its about that journey there and what a better person you are for that journey >
