Time spent complaning about time is time wasted.


Time spent complaining about time is time wasted.

The clock tells the time
Every hour it chimes
With its ticking
And tocking
As if it is mocking
Persistently counting
While I am pouting
About time that has past
Too slow or too fast
But why complain
I have nothing to gain
For each minute I vent
More time has been spent
It’s something I cannot change

I complain too much sometimes.  Time is probably one of them.  I look at the clock and realize that time is going by too slowly or too quickly.  There's really nothing that I can do about it.  So why do I keep whining about it?  I should just face the facts and enjoy what time I have and what I'm able to do with the time that I'm given.

Life is Beautiful

Life is Beautiful

If you could change your life...
If you had the chance to start things over...
Would you?
Erase all your mistakes.
Remove imperfections.
Delete all the bad memories.
Things could be different.
Life would be new.
You could make it yours.
Do things differently.
But when you think about it...
We learn from mistakes.
We grow from experiences.
We gain from relationships.
Life gives us lessons every single day.
It's a wonderful thing.
So why change it?
Why worry?
Your past is your past.
That cannot change.
It's a magnificent misfortune.
So look to the future.
And see where it leads you.
Life is beautiful.
It only happens once.
It's yours.
It's yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Live it.

There are times where I think, "What would have happened if I had/hadn't done this?"  Do you ever think that?  And then afterwards you wonder if things could have been better for you?  Sometimes then you think I wish I could change it.  Fix it.  Make things different.  What I did didn't go according to my plan.  Well, it's not under your control to make all those changes.  What you've got is it.  Make the best of it.  Look to your future because your past cannot be altered.  I often need to remind myself of that.

Do you remember the line from The Lion King?  Rafiki says, "The past can hurt, but the way I see it, you can either run from it, or learn from it."  Wise words from a silly baboon.  Love that movie.

Anyway, the poem was kinda wordy.  But as I started typing up my rough draft, I kept adding and adding to it.  There just wasn't enough that could be said.  I hope you enjoyed it though!  Thanks for reading!

                        i know it
            i can feel it
i have faith 

I like this poem.  I enjoyed playing with format and I like the idea of also playing around with punctuation as well as capitalization.  As you might have noticed, this poem has neither of those things.  There have been times in my life where I feel like I've failed at some things or may not have done as good as what I had hoped.  Nothing always go according to your plans.  But, there is good news:  There is a glimmer of hope and a silver lining.  I'm still young.  I'm only 21.  Heck, I've got my whole life ahead of me.  Things can change and things will change.  I just need to brush the dirt off and get back up from a low.  I have the faith that I can make a difference to what the rest of my life will be like.  I also hope to make that faith in myself and what is around me grow.  I think that everyone needs to know that once you reach a low, the only place that you can go is back up.  Start anew and be optimistic!  :-D
