Wonderment
By Kate, age 18, California
For this is where I stand today,
On a pillar of self-assurance,
Wondering where I'll be tomorrow,
What will be the occurrence?
Will I be on the same page,
Inking my emotions deep?
Or will the pillar collapse and fall,
Leaving me in a dirty heap?
I wonder a lot,
If you could not see that now,
I wonder a lot because ...
I know it will help somehow.
Into the next day I go,
Still standing upon that pillar,
My wondering has got the best of me,
My wondering,
Is it my killer?
Nothing can murder the future,
And nothing can maim the mind,
In a hope of something greater,
Maybe someday we will find.
But for now I will keep on wondering,
About things that may never come to be,
In time, you'll be wondering ...
You'll see.
