at first a step, begrudgingly
then two, to get ahead, impatient to see where this leads
and a leap she takes, out of the window,
welcomed by the rays of light,
like her entrance of glory
she was made to fly, she thought she couldnt, she tried anyway and she did!
In 3 days, i teared and laughed, lectured and joked, acted as Miss Lin, then slipped back into being Michelle... it's been a real time of my life.
i'm torn up inside,
there's a stirring of both regret and satisfaction.
why only now and not earlier?
delirious from the successes of the camp
seeing it through, from start to finish
experential learning, they call it
as i fumbled my way around, weaknesses exposed,
but my bag of knowledge grew
she watched those who did it, easily, painlessly
and wondered why she didnt think of it earlier
she remembered what she forgot,
so she wouldnt forget it at the next turn
she used what she already had,
and gained all that she could
however,
if only it wasnt so late in the year
their second year,
their last year, and last project.
regret to say, i could only love you guys so late.
but thank you still,
for reminding me why i'm here, who i am, and what im capable of doing
The Girl Inside
Michelle,
seeking the best in her, yet looking at her best days unfolding right before her at the same time.
