three and a half decades

decades
wow
a statement i made tonight i used that
three and a half decades
equalling 35
that's my age
surprising that I am nowhere near where I hoped to be by now
this could be my mid-life re-evaluation of my inner soul
but realizing what i have failed to accomplish
really opens up my heart to want to do better
fight the demons, face the anger, and search the light
before i am gone from this body and shell
i want to make a name for myself
and make a change in the world
help others in their time of need
since i have taken from so many energies in this world
i want to give back to the world around me
release the selfishness and gain the selflessness instead
three and a half decades are gone and over
i pray i get another three and a half decades to come
and get my second (third, fourth, fifteenth) wind
to show just what i was born to do
instead of this existance i have endured
