On the up side, I've encouraged Aaron to participate in the daily write off challenge for the month of May. I think it'll do him a world of good - he used to take pride in the works of his words and still does on the rare occasion he writes. Perhaps he won't share, he says, but that's okay. Hearts heal when they write.
On the down side, I feel like I'm revisiting my teenage angst years with my poetry, but minus the heated emotions. It's like I'm reverting because it's what I wrote for so long, but in ways it has lost the meaning. I will try to focus on other subjects or revert straight back to childhood. My best pieces are about childhood and children. Something to keep in mind, perhaps.
April 28th, 2014 - 'Miles Lost'
If you ever look
back on those years
and smile
I'd be surprised.
You loathed teenage
angst but fueled fires
all the same, throwing
words like logs into its heat:
Because I said so,
said no, no I cannot
and will not stay.
Those days are now
gone, miles lost to your
rear view mirror -
at least with this one
there are no children, just
unadulterated wannabes.
