I Was Once You
By: Joi Maree Flowers
Procrastinator
Unbeliever of myself
Dreaming
But not achieving
Procrastinator
Unbeliever of myself
Dreaming
But not achieving
Speaking
But not acting
Hoping
But not wanting
I found comfort in time's past and present
Until
I began seeing
Every life
But mine
Walking fearlessly
Into tomorrow’s time
Finally removing my security blanket
From around me
I took one step forward
And another step after
Only looking back
To see how far I’d come
As the future led me through
Doors I never thought could open before
Hoping
But not wanting
I found comfort in time's past and present
Until
I began seeing
Every life
But mine
Walking fearlessly
Into tomorrow’s time
Finally removing my security blanket
From around me
I took one step forward
And another step after
Only looking back
To see how far I’d come
As the future led me through
Doors I never thought could open before
I am thankful that I decided to give
Tomorrow a try
For yesterday
I was once you
Procrastinator
Unbeliever of myself
But today
I am the awakened dream
For yesterday
I was once you
Procrastinator
Unbeliever of myself
But today
I am the awakened dream
The achiever
Because I believed in myself
Because I believed in myself
Joi, this poem is amazing and I can relate to it. There does come a point in life where you are tired of time passing you by and people too, not that people shouldn't move forward in life and pursue their dreams but that you can do just the same!
