Think.knihT

Often in our lives, we look forward
We plan the future, make sure it goes our way
But many a time, I find myself looking back
Looking back on what I have done
And who it has made me today.
The people that have touched my life
Motivated, encouraged me
The people that have hurt my life
Pushed it down, hurt me
I can't help but to be so thankful for all of them
Brian Naylor wouldn't be Brian Naylor if not for them.
I find myself at times fighting things in my life
I fight feelings, thoughts, the past
But I always lose that fight
My mind comes full circle
Back to those thoughts
What am I to do?
Do I give up on something great?
Should I seek the work for a different happiness?
At night, I lay and stare at the light on the fire alarm
It helps me
Helps me get my thoughts gathered
But I still can never figure out what to do
So here I am
Sitting
Thinking
Getting nowhere
My heart longs for a love
My mind longs for a peace
Can I ever get those to coexist?
I guess I'll just have to start look ahead
Here's to the Future

  1. Brian. I miss you. You and your voice! You and your voice and both of them together sharing your poems with me.
    I miss that.
