Poem: Interesting Feat

By Erin Newton 

I’m somewhere near the end

And it’s making some semblance of sense

It’s just that I can’t seem to come to terms with it

 

Soon I’ll have a paper to prove the struggle

And all this would just be stamped, done

And I’ll use it as a passport to the future

I’ll say I earned it.

But that’d be about it.

I won’t really use this

 

When I said I couldn’t take it anymore

It didn’t disappear

And now I’m at the end wondering how I ended up here

Wondering what could have kept me motivated for four years?

After I swore off this path, two years ago

 

I told my friend she’d never see me at this show

And I made my way back to this theatre

With my medal, and ragged clothes, and shaky exterior

I was lost and never found

And swore off this

But yet, I’d come to complete it

 

A year ago, lost wasn’t the word to describe

The things and places and mountains I’d climbed

And found isn’t really much to describe it now

But it’s an interesting feat, some challenge

Some knighthood, I’ve been bestowed
