( votes)My Path Runs Ahead of Me and My Plans
Canto Nine
written by: Benjamin R Bray
@MrBray317
From a dorm so small
To a space all my own
My bed, my desk, my closet
My room attached to my bathroom
Classes are harder
As to be expected
Year long friendships ending
Harder than ever expected
Do adults keep friends
The way that children do
A commitment to communication
Despite adulthood schedules
A time of transition
Made all the more difficult
By a population too great in number
To feel outstanding
Is it selfish to want
To be noticed
To be counted
To be known
Is part of this transition
The realization that I am one
Of far too many
To be remembered
NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
Part nine of my autobiographical series of poetry.
Benjamin R Bray
Writing my way through life's journey; finding inspiration in the people who make me feel like I deserve to be here. In their unconditional love that I find what little strength I feel I have to face this overwhelming world. Through my writing I find escape in expression of anything I'm feeling at the moment the pen makes contact with the paper.
