I miss staring into the horizon
wondering about
all the possibilities
that
tomorrow
would bring
I miss thinking
that
the only limitations
were the skylines of your mind
I miss the daydreaming
that existed
before the coming
of habitual tendency
of responsibility
of maturity
I miss the luxury
of freedom
of believing that anything was possible
with a forward looking smile
with kaleidoscopic eyes
Those were the times
when happiness came naturally
and needed no protection
from our sighs
needed no provocation
and no reason
to exist
Those were the times
when happiness was happy.
this is such a beautiful poem… I really love it. The wording is just so real and organic. I can relate to these emotions so much and honestly, I wish I had written it myself. Thank you for writing this extraordinary piece!!
Awh, thank you for taking the time to read it!
Listen to “The Circle Game” by Joni Mitchell … I loved your poem, the woman in you is shining more and more …
Ah I’ve listened to that one – I think you may have recommended it to me prior to this. Nevertheless, I am thankful for your continuous support.
Always, It is a joy to see your growth through your writing … Graduation soon?
“I miss thinking that the only limitations were the skylines of your mind”
Lately I feel as though I’ve been creating more limitations in my mind and it had been wearing me down. So I decided I would fight back against those limitations and work on becoming who I want to be. I’ve very much been my own enemy in this fight.
I understand that feeling very much. I think the hardest enemy is ourselves. Good luck in the fight and remember that you’re not alone in it.
