The Former Me

Clear my mind
Get back to me
Back to grind
Explore new people
Places things
Avoid the old
And resist the ring-ing
Temptation
Seduction
That draws me in
Encourages behavior
I don’t intend
To continue
Renew or just plain engage
If only i could
I knew i’d enrage
Old people
Old places
Old things i once did
Bad habits i proudly announced I’d rid
Better me
Better life
I thought i’d live
Somehow back at square one
With lust to give
On the fence
Tow the line
I’m tiptoeing here
Exploring these feelings
They seem so sincere…
Don’t get too involved
Just go with the flow
The worst thing you can ever hear is a “no”
You won’t die
I’ll be great
Just wait and see
I’m finding myself

The former me
