Drafts

She had so many drafts
of how she would be
how she would live
who she'd set free
where she would walk
those she would kiss
paths she may cross
people she'd miss
But all of these drafts
of who she would be
did not intertwine
with reality
for lessons were learned
this beauty was taught
to reap what she's sown
cut what she's lost
Now one of these drafts
she did not delete
has left her perplexed
she cannot complete
even through her own words
she knows she cant change
whats past and whats done
so eager
she prays

  2. Really deep! I believe in planning ahead, but no one really knows what will happen in the future. I like how you portrayed the "she" in the poem as starting out with all of these dreams, plans, and whatnot, but seems to later mature and accept reality. I am just curious of what draft she didn't delete...
