Satisfied or Still Striving??

Ever feel like you’re not quite where you want to be in life? Like you have all the talent in the world, yet the world has no idea what you have to offer? I’ve been there. To be honest, I’m still there. I don’t feel like I’ve reached the heights of my full potential. And honestly, that’s MY fault. I’ve done my fair share of procrastinating in my 31 years of living. And though I used to get away with it by pulling out B’s on last minute school work assignments, the real world doesn’t take kindly to procrastinators–unless you’re content with mediocrity. And mediocre is something I never want to be in life.

These thoughts inspired the following excerpt titled, ‘Twilight Conflictions,’ from my eBook of poetry. Enjoy!

It’s the midnight hour, yet I’m still searchin’ for the light.

Seeking a righteous path; peering across dark alleys. No time to be contrite.

Back pedaling… procrastination weighs a heavy price.

Hold on tight!

I’m at a crossroad of sorts. Another day squandered… so at midnight I seek remorse.

In solitude I dare to pick apart my flaws.

Channeling the depths of my deepest thoughts.

Wasted talent, loss of ambition. Shameful cliffs…I’m drifting.

In fact I’ve fallen numerous times.

Never afraid to rebound and continue to climb.

Twilight conflictions summon moments of reflection. Truth sipped in gulps.

Tough to swallow but sweet for the soul.

Honest critiques with no ill intent, just warning to self.

Thinking at the midnight hour. Wonder if all you can be is where you are at this instance.
