Here Now

I'm really over
Being inbetween
Stuck in the
Transformational Tunnel
What am I not seeing?
I keep thinking,
"When, ya da ya da ya da"
Followed by
"Then, I will ya da ya da
YA DA"
But there is no when
And there is no then
It is all a construction
I've built in my head
That blinds me from
Now
My life is right now
Happening all around me
Somehow
I Am Now
You Are Now
That's all there is
All else is a story
A mental game
A creation of mind
That exists not in the thick
Not in the tangible
But in the imagination
Future Past Beliefs
Always contaminating
The present with the past
And therefore creating
More of the same
For the future
Time to be on watch
With myself
Be very aware of Now
Be aware when past tries to live
And when future tries to limit
Be aware that there is
Only Now
Forward Momentum
To the Now
All Power lies in this Moment
I am ready to know it
Now

This is a very good description of what you call Inbetween. Before you can look to the future you have to accept the now, and this poem relates that struggle very well. The flow of the poem is very good, and it hints at the desperation you feel without getting frantic. Very nice.

getting caught up in the moment isnt the same as living in the now, appreciating today is different than planning for tomorrow...you need to somehow enjoy the hours of everyday without constantly living in the "when i" state of being...very cool poem

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
