The Heart Will Die As Well

Sometimes, 
I feel like a battery-
A power source
For all anticipated rage
And sometimes,
It’s an electrical storm
That brings me
Back to my senses
After hours well spent
In contemplation 
Of the things that
I have not yet found
the means to change.

Eighteen years ago,
I’d never have felt this way-
But then,
There was a time
Back then
When I’d have found myself
All too grateful for today.
For insight granted, 
All my expectations 
Would not have failed me then-
Though I haven’t yet decided
Whether I’d really 
Want it that way.

The sun will rise, 
And set again-
And I might find 
That still, 
Nothing has changed-
But I will not regret
The education 
I have found
by all my yesterdays-
And I will keep
Anticipation
Close at hand-
And look ahead 
To all that I have 
Not yet met with
On my way
Into tomorrow.
