A New Thought

Folder: 
Pre-2006 Poems

As you sit alone,

Staring blankly.

The screen fades in and out of your mind,

Your eyes burning out of your skull.

Looking over the words,

But reading nothing.



Thinking about thoughts,

Thoughts that mean nothing.

Perhaps it is time to move forward,

To begin to understand why I haven’t changed,

Haven’t changed in over three years.



Its time to take a step,

The first move to a new life.

Make a promise and actually keep it.

Meet new people,

Explore the world.



The stalled chapter of my life has finally come to an end.

The book is closing,

And I walk to a shelf,

And start writing a new one.



To change your identity,

Who you think you are.

To become who you want to be.

Easy its not,

But it starts with a single step,

That I’m too afraid to take.
