WHEN THE MINUTE GROWS UP

Folder: 
JOURNAL #13

we live in a bored world

filled with many diverse forms of

incredible envy

children express themselves best

while going down this chosen avenue

of display

by saying such things as

I want to be a cowboy

a fire man

a police officer

while, I myself only wanted to be me

but the best possible me

that I could be

and still, hopefully one day

I will be just that

only not quite now

yet Lord knows I can feel the

potential within attempting to

break ground to start erecting itself

yes, that I do believe

at this very moment's instant

so good luck Self

even though I don't really feel that

you need it......................
