Poetic Inspiration

Over the past few months I have met one of my best friends moms, friend. If that makes any sense, and she has truely made some sort of impact on the way I have begun to think recently. She gave me her book of poetry that she just had publsihed and I really was quite taken by it and it made me want to write something of my own. I will tell you right now I am no poet and dont want to be thought as one, but I thought I would give it a shot.

It is like drowning
When knwoing how to swim
A wave crashes over me
I find away to surface
The tide is strong and forces me under
I see the shore but it is a long swim before me.

So its no Shakespeare but it is a whirlwind of my thoughts, and what I am feeling right now. I am a senior at the moment and am having a hard time trying to grasp the concept of that in a few months ill be in the real world. Having to find a career path that suits me, and a job I love, a future I will be happy with is all part of what I am trying to come to terms with right now. The idea of rejection is a huge worry to me and part of what my poem is all about
