Can Anyone Relate?

Thoughts and boy do I have them! All over the place about so much. I have poetry from my youth, I used to write all the time. Love poems, sad poems, angry poems, it flowed so freely back then. When you are young all you have are your emotions and your experiences, its all new, fresh and raw! New sights , sounds and first experiences. The good and the bad. As you get older, for some, they quit experiencing it like a child, like a youth, stop seaching and wanting the excitement of life. They settle in for the repetitive same thing day in and day out. So many quit living period, some never really lived to begin with. Some are just trying to heal from so much pain and trauma from their youth they have never realized life was passing by right along with their youth. I am all of those people and I truly want to live and enjoy what I have left of my time. I hope to embrace this year, with my bottled up thoughts.
