Must I

By atia

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The walls seem more familiar now Though I am still molding Myself into a newer world. Things must be different 'Cause of the differences I choose to feel.. Yet I must be me, Demanding a place among the driftwood Without seeming too anxious Or haunted by the very Existence of my breath. If now had any meaning I would not have to wait To be wise or feel older. The moments I live Are always too young, My future always far away, And my past - Always Undiscovered...
