This is the section of Strive4Impact.com, where you can read, every day, something I wrote since I was 13 years old (1993).  Some of it's adolescent angst, but some of it is quite good, and I hope you'll agree.  What are we up to now? Currently, my wife and I are traveling the world and blogging our experience.  We may have been somewhere you would like to go, or maybe we could come to meet you?  Either way, you may find our reviews and advice helpful.  Check it out at http://www.CarrieAndJonathan.com

Confusion With Girls: December 1993 »

Confused

POEM: Confused
December 1993
(Jonathan is 13)

Confused

Confused about life,
confused about dreams.
Confused when there's no fish
swimming in streams.

Confused about danger,
confused about fear.
Confused when there's no way
to hide a tear.

Confused about people,
confused about love.
Confused why someone
won't feed the dove.

Confused about violence,
confused about hate.
Confused why there's no way
to plan for this fate.

Confused about war,
confused about race.
Confused how it matters,
the color of a face.

Confused about anger,
confused about dark.
Confused how it pulls,
then bites like a shark.

Confused about peace,
confused about light.
Confused why it doesn't take over the night.

Confused about life,
confused about dreams,
but know that the struggle starts inside me.
