My first step in, my emotions are dead

Yet my mind has goals to overcome

My fingertips ready to begin

Tingling with excitement

With an unknown beginning


Starting out strong

but slowly losing my rhythm

My eyes staring at a computer

But my eyes visioning a dream

Of what my future will lead


A quick snap takes me back

Question ask and I’m annoyed

Yet i’m intrigued to know more

I find myself lost in time

My eyes turn and stare at the time


Noticing that more than seconds have gone by

I realize that my time has been shortened

Yet I want to strengthen my connection

However its weakening my process

To overcome these goals


I look back to say one last thing

Not a second to think

Words start rushing

from the back of my mouth to the tip of my tongue


“Shut up Victor”


Finally, I can begin this journey

to conquer my goals.  


The author's comments:

 I often just free write about anything. No plan in mind, no techniques that I’m going to use. It just my heart doing all the work. I create my work as a reflection as to what’s happening in my life. Later on when I read these pieces it will make me understand how strong I was during those weak times. Most of my pieces are about pain and the idea of being loved. Two things that I have constantly struggle with throughout my life. I read other poems to be more inspired. To see their view on life. Sometimes my poetry becomes me venting about something not actactly poetry but, instead somewhat like a diary entry. But, to me that’s perfectly fine because you still get to see the real me. Sometimes I feel like my poems don’t make sense. When others read it their confused about what’s being talked. But, it all makes sense to me.
