Future


What do I want to be?

Who will I become?

The chance of the answer to both questions

being the same

is laughably small.

 

I lack motivation, confidence, direction.

Yet I dare to dream of

a ‘better life.’

 

I am the most naïve person I know

haha! Talk about relating to a piece of writing! I think you must know me very well ..... either that or we are the same person!!

questions we all should ponder and attempt to answer

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
