A Step In the Right Direction

      I took a step into my past

The radiant moon spreading it silver light it casts

I was the age of 5 or 6 

people told me I was fast

I ran trying to avoid the droplets of rain

As they fell unrelenting that day

Or perhaps I was crying and running

from a situation?

no that's not it at all

The world perhaps?

No 

So what was I running from?

Was it me

Was I running from the future?

       I took step back into the present

How much I've grown up

But how little I know

Again...I heard crying

But not from me, from someone I knew

I was yelling no screaming

In a heaping rage

I was yelling because she wronged me?

No that's not quite right

The crying that I heard 

I had heard it before

Like that day I was running from my future in the rain

Was that the reason I was sad?

Because I didn't want to fess up to why I was mad......

At myself

    I fell into my future 

I am staring at something 

The ground....but why?

I was looking at a stone it said

"R.I.P Me and Myself"

But what of I? 

Why was I left?

What am I?

Who am I?

But better yet what will I become?

I ran home that day in the rain

Running from my future

My past became my future

And my future became my past

Which led to my present 

Why I lay here in peace at last

"R.I.P ME, Myself, and I"

  I am new to this so thank you for what ever support or comments you may give me. I guess my main aspiration in poetry is to deliver a message that everyone can grasp and understand, but something that is also complex and makes people think.

Terrence,

     I'm kind of new to this myself. I've been trying to write poetry for about 10 years now. A LOT of reading on a broad range of subjects (so I could have something to write about-LOL!) But I've just this month started to go public. This piece is definitely a step in the right direction- understand who you are. I like the running through your past and present and running away from the future with a lot of emotions (fear, anger, sadness...). So if this is you being "new to this"- you're giving us a lot to grasp and something complex to think about.

P.S.  I saw you're name on my "followers list" and came looking for you. I'm glad I did. Thank you.
