Sorting through old writings,
Rantings of a young and wide-eyed youth,
Poems of illusions of love,
Writings some might call uncouth.
Memories flood back to me
As I look through these old scripts.
Tortured soul,
Bit of an asshole,
But not a word of it passed my lips.
The yearnings of a boy in blind love,
The stories of one to change,
The legend of how the New World came,
Writings smart and strange.
Poems here,
Stories there,
English and manuscript.
A blurry timeline now appears,
Can’t say I am pleased with it.
Such foolish words
Were written down,
But all in all I learned
That I could not have everything,
No matter how much I yearned.
I see my journey,
My twists and turns,
Roads filled with thorn and bramble.
I stumbled through
Much like a fool,
On hands and knees I shambled.
But here I am,
A changed man,
Made wise by times of learning.
I learned from the error of my old ways,
Now in a new direction I’m turning.
