[hometext] => This is me looking back and connecting the dots sometimes things happen for a reason
[bodytext] => In 2009 I am thinking to myself at a bar should go back to school Depressed feeling like I am a fool Justifying that alcohol is my only tool then I just start drinking as much to fill a pool Not knowing how much would suffice I went from feeling nice To just rolling the dice 2 am came and the urge to drive did entice Of this I did not think twice Driving like the 3rd of 3 blind mice It was a blur then I heard a pop It was a flat tire Then I saw lights flashing coming towards me The color of ocean and fire As I came to a man emerged it was one that Allentown’s finest did hire he said have you been drinking tonight I had a chance to be liar But I did what most would admire I now realized I was in a situation that was dire Saying “my alcohol status I must retire” “My mind frame of nights out I must rewire” A couple of days passed And I could not believe my eyes Reading a document with the 3 letters D . U.I I kept reading with a very long sigh A first offense there is something you could try Join the A.R.D program to get by There are many things it did mention 60 days of your license suspended But it is your decision And if you agree you won’t go to prison I had to choose but there was no election As the program was completed My college fund was depleted Cannot drive my car Cannot go to school it’s all related it is a setting that I created A position that I generated As my status on the program is positive My educational currency is negative But the fact it is almost over is my sedative It’s all over finally I got my license back Its been since my last coke and jack But there is something I still lack The amount which was the school stack 3 years later I am a back on track In January 2012 I picked up the slack Returned to school for the knowledge to hack On spring break I celebrated but I did not follow the pack I had fun with them but no jack Today I am happy this I must admit Driving by a sign that says You can’t afford it A blessing in disguise Because now I know where I sit Not an alcoholic a criminal or a loser But someone that just fine will fit I do not regret what Happened that night one bit Because To connect the dots you Can’t look forward You must do the opposite [comments] => 0 [counter] => 146 [topic] => 51 [informant] => JOSEJAD [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Event )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
