Poem: Overdue
Forget what I know now
For now, it's what I knew
And in this brand new moment
I can do nothing but move
For now, it's what I knew
And in this brand new moment
I can do nothing but move
In my quest to begin again
I discover a hungry heart
Wishing for everything
Except for the so-so parts
And should I eat my future
Each morsel at a time
Would I find myself fulfilled?
Would I be anymore wise?
Sweet, I devour you
With the promise of things brand new
Bitter, I reject you
My new beginning is overdue
