Oh WOW– I thought I Was and Now I Am
I thought I was, and now I am.
The contrast is startling.
I prepared, mentally and physically
History was then–Now is Now
I am not prepared.
I wasn’t then,
and I’m not, now.
I should have
followed quicker tips or
googled more wiki’s
to guide me a bit.
I should have
shouldered more burden to
withstand more blame.
I would’ve shown myself
to steer myself clear, straight.
I could’ve done better–
anything to help avoid
getting here, so obstinate.
I should’ve known
what I didn’t then.
I could’ve done
what I didn’t, when
I knew I would’ve been left
unfinished, kept from
completion, waiting for that perfect
moment when I knew I was
and am always, am.
