Feelin' Good

For some reason, today I'm feeling better than I have in weeks (maybe months). Maybe it's because the leaves have changed and are falling all over the place. Or maybe it's because the weather is finally going to change and be cold. Or maybe it's because I'm excited for this concert I'm going to next week with my friends and family. Or, still yet, maybe it's just because the holiday season is just around the corner now. Whatever the reason, I'm happy. And thankful for all the great things I have in my life. I am going to college to eventually become a Psychologist. I have a job at a place I absolutely love with amazing people. I have my family, who can be tough, but support me through everything. And my friends who, despite some petty disagreements, are always there for me when I need them. I'd say I have it pretty good. No complaints from camp Megan today (thank goodness).

Music

For a second,
Time stops.
There is nothing else,
Only this moment,
This place inside my head.
This song,
This life,
This me.
All combining into one
Jumble of tranquility.
The world goes dark
As I shut my eyes,
Trying to escape forever
Into this sea of
Melodies and guitar riffs.
They move me this way and that,
Pushing me forward on my journey.
But just as soon as it's begun,
It ends.
Ejecting me
From this world
I so desperately
Want to belong to.
I'm merely living on moments.
Look.
Here comes another.
Play.

Old Poem Deux

Just a little background info on this poem, I wrote this a couple months before graduation senior year in the thoughts of my impending college years. This poem still seems to be true now that I'm almost half done with my Bachelors and starting on my major/minor classes. It's crazy to think that in two years from now, I'll be graduating again. I still have a bit of time before that, but when I was starting to try and pick classes for my next semester I was reminded of this poem. So I thought I'd share it. (:

It's Coming
I see each day flying past.
It's a blur and before I know it,
It'll all be gone.
The future is quickly approaching
And I'm not sure that I'm ready.
No one ever warned me
It would go this fast.
I feel like I'm losing my grip on reality.
I'm too set on snatching all my yesterdays,
Retrieving memories from the long lost past.
It's safer there, knowing what's to come.
But yesterdays can't keep my tomorrows from coming.
Whether we like it or not,
We all have to face our fates.
The future is coming.
We can't stop it, control it, or even delay it.
The good thing is, it's never too late.
Life is continuous and ever-changing.
But if you wait forever,
It might just pass you by.
I'm finally ready to grab onto Life
Because no matter what the future holds,
It's got to be better
Than just dwelling in the past.
