Poetry
Before
I was not too old
But I guess I’m not old
I was young
And what did I want?
Making mistakes outside school
Hoping to find red hair
But it never showed up
Maybe I was too young
Help me I asked
Just before I settled
But I get too nervous
I could not make this last
I went back behind the school
And only dreamed of red hair
Never believed it was out of reach
Had this pain in my neck
See, I always looked back
I had complete control of my past
Recalling what I chose
Drank away my pain
Collected a few new ones
But that all got old
Now
I am not too old
Guess I never was
I am young
Here is what I want
Learning to make amends
Learning to forget her
Cause she does not exist
It’s not my age
Humbly I ask for help
Truly settled
Confident in who He is
This will last forever
I will never go back
Won’t chase those lies
Cause I know it’s deadly
I have an ach in my heart
But have faith in the future
I have no control over circumstance
But will deal with what may come
Praying away my pain
And strengthening always
This will never get old

Reminds me a whole lot of a poem I wrote called 'Growing Young.' But then He did promise us that He'd renew our strength, our youth. Another great poem!
