On the Course

Tara Coon 1999 (Ont.)



I'm wired to the sound of opportunity and misdirection
Find it hard to react to my own objection
Euphoria found by unexpected means
Hoping it's not too good than it seems
Watching the future unfold just like one of my dreams
Am I actually the real star of the show
Or am I just another seed that was expected to grow
Hear the guitar?
Camouflaged trills from not far
I'm suppressing so I'm not to frighten
With actions in this "shift"  I'm expected to fight in
Don't acquit me too soon I'm just trying to do my best !!

About this poem

This poem just expresses something I've been living through and my cautious way of trying to find the "right" way to handle and tackle it.
