Forward Realizations Poem by Riley Choma

Forward Realizations



I need to get back.

Not my my roots, but back to me.

And I don't know particularly who that is.

Because you see... there are parts of me I have yet to meet.

I need not to go where I have been, but towards me.

Not back I suppose, but somewhere that is forward.

Changing my tone of voice, thinking, reactions and reaction times.

In doing this I am coming up with solutions to problems before they can exist.

And before this, before the desire of forward…

After speaking, I probably would have apologized for being so forward.

I am left now only wondering why.

And despite society's realization of how looking back leaves us stationary, I never hear anyone apologize for being backward.
