A Chapter Two Of Me Poem by David Wright David

I am 49 years old, I don't know your date of record as far as the first birthday being recorded, but for me, this age means that it's time to close the door on some things that weren't progressing as expected and to have the unmitigated tenacity, to open the door on some new things that can possibly provide the same happiness if not greater, than that which was sought by the thing that held my attention prior. From Love to Career, it's time to begin this day, a Chapter two of me.

It ain't over, as a matter of fact, I'm truly just getting started. I will create more splendor and do even greater things than the true to life stories, heretofore being told. For each of us are the tree of life, to whatever fruit we choose to produce. And regardless of age, I for one, am not done adding art to the walls of this great landscape we call earth and we call home. So if you couldn't find it within yourself to love me as I am, so be it because someone else will have the vision enough, to see a diamond, where you saw only coal. My everything is focused on here and now beginning, a Chapter two of me.

A Chapter two of me is here and I claim it, and now urge those of you who are in spaces similar to mine, where you just aren't being appreciated fully, to wake up and have the courage it takes to turn the page. Because no one deserves to be taken for granted by any situation. But my tender hearted, searching, caring brothers and sisters understand, that others will only carry on with you, how you allow them to proceed. And I contend that no amount of affection or pay, is worth being treated like you don't count. As for me, I'm moving on and constructing, word for word and page by page, a Chapter two of me!
