Looking Back

I stand on this plot of ground thinking about my life the good I have done the bad I have done the love I have created the hate that I stirred My autobiography is filled with happy moments painful moments The world I see before me is not the same neither am I God seems so close at times yet at times so far away An anxious mind creates restless thoughts sleepless nights Time is now...the past is but a memory hazy and biased good or bad replayed with a new script some scenes better left on the cutting floor This world I helped create...helped to create me regrets have become my drinking companion I stand on this plot of ground breathing in and breathing out the life I have lived I have seen sadness and joy both can be misguided when I was a child I looked to the future now that I am old I replay the past I have walked on this tightrope swaying side to side balancing these frisky emotions never looking down having faith the safety net has always been there Frank (Black) Blacharczyk
