I shake and tremble
because it’s hard
and scary
to move on
from a past
playing catch up
with a mind
ahead of it’s time
and heart to weary
to accept
these creeping words
that aren’t even mine
a past that is key
to my future
so I play in alleyways
and dead end streets
until I find the back road
to my own soul
no streetlights
just the beating of my heart
as the present comes together
my heart rate exceeds
while I wait for that day
my past and present align
so my beating heart can slow
to keep in pace with time
and everyone I hold dear
=Earth.
