Poems by R. M. Drake

Poem 2

1980’s music Press Here

Thinking back to a time when I was so motivated
Had nothing but time
Everything was over rated
So cloudy my mind but now I’m seeing clear
So many things I feared but now I have no fear
& maybe that is what scares you
The motivation I have for me
I’m taking the bull by the horns
Gonna be who I have the potential to be
You can stay
Or you are free t0 go
But I need to do this for myself
That’s the only thing I really know
You’re the one that I love
But a stranger stands before my eyes
Can’t help but gaze above
And wonder if we will be this way for the rest of our lives
As I sit here mind racing
Feet pacing
Love everlasting
But always collapsing
Nothing more to do than wait
& see what chaos my strong mind creates
When all you see is catastrophic
I view life with a different lens

Writing Poetry is Medicinal
