Today's Me

By WaryDreamer

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I find myself... in places where I never thought I'd be meeting people I never thought I'd meet; seeing things I thought I'd never see thinking things I thought I'd never think; saying things I never thought I'd say doing things I never thought I'd do; living life how I thought I'd never live. I ask myself... WHICH ME IS THE BEST? Is it the way that I was then... Sheltered, naive, afraid, boxed in? Or is it the way that I now see... Exposed, blasé, un-awed, set free? WOULD I RETURN TO YESTERDAY? There was a sense of peace I knew Which attended me in my limited view; But living and loving and being kissed Were a part of happiness that I had missed. WHO WILL I BE TOMORROW? If I can somehow mix the two -- A little old with a little new, Maybe the person that I become Will be sure of herself with anyone. mMarch 1988 Written October 28th, 2001 © on Oct 28 2001 02:50 AM PST   18 • 0 • 12
