Sometimes

Sep 15

Sometimes I feel old
over the hill
worn out
ready to throw in the towel

Sometimes I feel young
just beginning life
not yet in my prime
raring to get going

Sometimes I don’t feel at all
conscious of each breath
hearing the most silent sounds of silence
unsure what to do next

Where I am today 
I may not be tomorrow
Where I am tomorrow
I may not be next week

The ebbs and flows of life
and emotion 
leave
me
paralyzed

Sometimes

I teach adult education, including high school equivalency test prep, adult basic education, and Work Ready for Corrections, a workplace readiness course at a correctional facility. I am married with two sons in high school. I have a dry sense of humor and try not to take myself more seriously than necessary.
