Beginnings

Hi. Here's a poem to start us off.

"My Life's Direction"

Sometimes I feel just a little bit lost

I’m sure that you just might relate

But I have quite a few directional options

To consider as I configure my fate

I’m trying so hard to do what is right,

With the patience and strength I have left

So I’ll stumble straight into this world of adults

I feel like I wasn’t prepared for this test

The stress is getting me all worked up

Yet it's also somehow dragging me down?

Maybe it’s obvious I don’t know where I’m going

As I aimlessly wander around

I’m trying to let people in to my life

I’m trying a little to break out of my shell

It’s a work in progress, I have to admit

Sometimes I sit alone with my good friend Adele

Some people just seem so on top of it all

Excuse me as I crawl under my blankets

There better be something good at the end of this way

Because I am over always feeling this anxious

So hello from the other side

I think that’s really where I want to be

I need to cross one of Rob Frost’s two roads

I’m grateful at least that there wasn’t three

I’ve tiptoed around making any decisions

There’s been too many doors I’ve been afraid to go through

To the kind career counselors that said “play it safe”

I think I’ll try saying “Screw You”

Whether up, down, or through

North, South, or West

I’m made too many choices

Off what others thought best

So as I take my first steps to move forward in life

Let me first  explain you my math

I’ll look for my help from above

And that’s more than enough

Because your compass won’t work for my path.

Love,

Abigail
