Musings of a Messed Up Mind - 2. Chapter 2 Advice for a Lost Boy

OH just smarten up!

Advice for a Lost Boy

I’ve been lost for a thousand years
Still just a little sad boy
Until reminded by a new friend
You’re so not, Tim – you’re not

Time to grow up boy, face up to what’s real
You can’t keep blaming your past
Think it through and make your choice
But remember for each choice – a cost.

Thank you to some special people, Monk, AC Benus, Headstall, Drew. There are more and thank you.

Oh Tim, we all come to that point, we all need to stop being the boy of our past.
This is as we've come to expect of you well written and poignant.
Thank you for this gift of yourself.

I knew that new stuff from you would be just as exceptional as your older stuff... this one sounds a little familiar lol. Life is a journey, my friend, and journeys are about going forward, not sticking in the past. You say this so eloquently... I look forward to everything you write... cheers... Gary...

Growing up and getting past "the past" isn't always easy. But letting go, looking ahead and not back will set you free.
Damn, didn't mean to turn this into a into a cliche, sorry about that.
What was said and what you wrote, holds a lot of truth.
Well done and don't stop writing. We appreciate your talent. :)

Well expressed Tim.
It is easy to let the past hold us in place. We've all been there at some point, but the first tentative steps into the present are so freeing... So here's to stepping forward.

Hi dughlas, actually I really have to thank TheWanderingMonk and Headstall. Both have slapped my ears for me .. and a long chat with Headstall, well it cleared things up a lot.

Thank you for reading and for your great comments and especially your friendship and support.

HI Gary, I kinda thought you recognize this. I guess its a way for me to take what you said and internalize it and figure it out. What you said to me was like someone throwing cold water ...it's time to grow up boy. Thank you for everything, especially your support. I can't tell you how much it means to me.

Hi R1810! Cliche away! Sometimes they work best. And your right it did set me free. Made me see what was right. Thank you for your support and for your time and comments. I appreciate it.

…I have a hard time leaving a review on this one…

 

This is quite a poem, one that says a lot in a few words. It's beautifully written, even though the last line seems pretty ominous. I really like the subtle, almost unsaid notion, that 'old souls' meeting fresh again can cause both pleasure and angst…

 

Well done.

Hey Defiance .. it easy to stay there, wallowing I guess. But I feel so much better, feel like maybe I'll grow up now. Thanks for your support, it means a lot.

AC I get you. The last line sort of a reminder there's a price to pay for everything. Thanks for your comments and support AC.

Tim :hug: This is another great poem.
I really like how on one hand there is "still living in the past" and on the other "moving forward."
Your words always take my breath away Tim :hug::)

Drew I'm sorry!! I'm so late here. I think I was repling to reviews but got interrupted. Thank you for you comments and insight Drew. Maybe I'll write something for you about breathing.

Thanks again my sweet friend.

Nice poem.  I don't think you're lost.  You're clear minded than I am.  *wonders what's that reply to Drew about breathing*
