My Path Runs Ahead of Me and My Plans
Canto Three
written by: Benjamin R Bray

Everyone’s favorite subject
Is either recess
Or lunch
I prefer dodgeball
And pizza
Counting up from one
To five
I had hoped
To keep playing dodgeball
And eating pizza
But then it wasn’t
About having fun anymore
You’re growing
They said
Changing
It’s a phase
They said
But no one told me
That I would go through
Temporary insanity
It’s a crazy time in your life
They said without knowing
Just how right they were
Have to survive
Have to make it to the next step on the path
NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
Part 3 of my autobiographical series of poetry.
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.
