It Is Time
It Is Time
Too many times,
I lost what I didn’t know I wanted
because I was unsure.
Still,
I’m wondering what I really want,
and if I want it now.
Wondering if I can have it all now
is sad,
because now may be all I have.
Realizing that,
Too many times I’ve lost it all
Because I was afraid to reach out
And grab what was for me.
It is time.
It is time I learned from all the hurt
That I let happen,
And reach out,
And take,
What is mine……

Hello Daddyikeman!
First off, welcome to JPIC! Secondly, I think that this poem is an easy one to relate to... at least, for me it is. I'm an indescive person and I have that common problem of not knowing what I want until it's taken away from me, being too late to decide that this is what I want,
what I want now, and if I missed what I wanted because of me being so indescive. This line was very interesting:
Wondering if I can have it all now
is sad,
because now may be all I have.
Because you missed all those opportunities to have what you wanted now is all that you have, I like this perspective and this stanza and what is saying.
I also liked the ending of your poem, learning from all those times you didn't reach out and take what is yours and deciding that now it's time for you to do that and take what is yours... Except, for me at least, I never seem to learn in the end and I tend to make the same mistakes again and again. But, I overall enjoyed this poem and thanks for sharing!

Biography: I'm just a guy, HAPPILY married ten years (thank you--throw money, not flowers) with three kids tryin' to get by on a wage that stays the same in a world where prices simply don't. (You know the story). I love the out-of-doors, and in-of-books. I am a wordsnob and a vocabulary geek; I have a very off-kilter sense of humor based mostly in liguistics and the appreciation of the non-sequiter.

You're living my life, man--and I'm sorry to hear it! This resonates on a strongly personal note for me. Hesitation is first step on the road to missed chances. This poem quite eloquently points this out.
I feel the simple, short lines work well here. The lack of any stylized structure keeps the reader's focus on the intent, instead of the presentation. Nice touch.
Again, a wonderful, personal poem. I hope you DO reach out, and that everything you reach for is what you hope it will be.
