Reflections

  by  *~Dawn~* 

I just turned 25 and right now I am reflecting.

I am reflecting on where I have been and where I want to go. 

I am reflecting on the things that,

I have done and the things I want to do.

 I have changed my mind many times.

Times that I have tried to figure out what, 

what is it that I want to do? 

Where, where is it that I want to go? 

The answer is the same, I don't really know. 

I want to be this and I want to go there,

I want to be right and I want to be fair. 

I want to help people,

all people just the same maybe I don't even need to know their names.

What do you call that, what does it mean? 

So right now I am reflecting on,

who I was and who I want to be come.

There are so many things to be and so many things to become. 

All I need is one, one place to go, one thing to do, 

one thing to be; but what that is I don't really know. 

I know that I could do this or I could do that, 

I could be this or I could be that.

If I could do it all then I would be just fine.

On the other hand it is said that you,

can't have your cake and eat it too. 

So I ask you: What am I to do?

Am I to be this or that, but you cant answer that and you can't answer this. 

I just turned 25 and right now I am reflecting, 

because right now I don't really know.

 I don't really know, but one day I will. 

One day I will!!!
