Day 19 Poem: Cross That Line (Carpe Diem)

Cross That Line (Carpe Diem)

 

Sometime in my life I drew a line,

an invisible line, its mark my comfort zone,

sometimes I move it forward, sometimes back, by mine,

sometimes by others, maybe a line in the dirt, or built of stone

 

With shaking knees I cross

that line, heart racing, palms sweating,

every time worried I'll get toss,

right back, try not to do anything upsetting.

 

Once with music blasting, I drove into a stream of cars

called interstate, pushing that line forward,

talked to my crush, only he dating someone

now the line moved back, but I grew stronger

 

Carpe Diem- must cross that line again,

and again, and again, and again, I hope it never ends
