A year ago… not today
Sitting in the same place
Looking at life the same way
Instinct grabbed a hold of the reins
Whisked my past away with pleasant pain
Woke me up, stood me up, and went away
I wonder why I was what I wasn’t.
I wasn’t what I always wanted to be
An elaborate excuse wearing my face
Made unusual mistakes, then made them ok
Played little games with my life, then walked away
Dangling sticky little strings to get in the way
Holding myself back on purpose, just to play the game
A year ago… was a lot like today
Except I know where I’ve been and I know who I am
Staring right at my future
As my past fades away.

Ryan, I like all of your poetry, but this one was inspiring. You're in a good place doing good things and we're all proud of you. I'm so glad you're my brother!
Holy crap did you know I waited months for this!
I'm glad to see you're back in the blog-iverse!
Miss you brother!
