as i grow wiser
learning the nuances of life
the teach the youth one day
i find myself reflecting more about the past
reflecting about things i've done wrong
reflecting about things i've done right
and everything inbetween
i am ever learning-ever understanding
awash in new waters, basking in a new sun
takin in a new day as if it were my first and only
breathing the cool air, takin it in, holding it firmly in my lungs..
having a new respect for what i am, and am not
not for who i want to be, but be who i want
