Time Machine

I thought of doing this poem as a blog, but truth is I don't want to sit down right now and think out a whole blog.  I just had a thought that all my life I over analyze every decision which usually makes no decision.  Hence why I have a written book and still only a 1/3 typed!  But there are two decisions where I jumped without hesitation.  One proposing to my wife, because I just knew she was the one.  And the second was believe it or not quitting college to go the Cheese.  Granted it wasn't full blown college it was just one class of Psychology, but it was being taken on college campus.  So :P  Anyway I bring these two up because my heart told me, and also a little voice in my head kept telling me it was the right thing to do. As if I came back from the future and told myself what to do....

Time Machine....

If you had a time machine where would you go

Would go back to the past 

Or travel to the future

Would you go back to when you were a kid

Where the only the care in the world was what toy you would  play with next

Which snack tasted the best

Play with your friends everyday 

Sadly the ones you rarely see today

Stay outside until it got dark

And ignore your mom when she told when it was time to come inside

Being a ninja prowling the night

Saving the damsel in distress 

Flying like a superhero

Hitting the game winning homerun

And yes sometimes on special occasions

Wishing you were a princess

Depending who you were playing with

If you had a time machine where would you go

Would you go back to the past 

Or travel to the future

Would you go back to the teenage years

When you first started noticing the other sex

That awkward phase

Fear took precedence

Unsure how to act

Always worrying if you were cool enough

Not listening to your parents

Would you hug your uncle one last time

Go visit your Grandpa because you know he doesn't have that much time

Play ball with the dog you grew up with

Listen more to what your parents have told you

Because now you know they aren't full of it

Worrying more about yourself

Versus what others thought

 If you had a time machine where would you go

Would you go back to the past 

Or travel to the future

Would you go back to high school

Actually go to football games

Be a social nerd

Not work so much

Actually talk to girls

And date them

Not be afraid of them

Ask out every girl you even had a glimmer of affection for

Work hard

Study better

Play even more

Break a few rules

Screw being safe

Be you and screw everyone else

If you had a time machine where would you go

Would you go back to the past 

Or travel to the future

Would you go the future

See if your dream came true

Sold a billion books

Lived a life of luxury 

No longer worked

But instead lived

Finally able to be yourself

Smiling

Laughing 

Loving every moment

Demons have been silenced

Monsters have been tamed

Feeling truly happy

Finally being the hero you were born to be

If you had a time machine where would you go

Would you go back to the past 

Or travel to the future

I wouldn't 

Because then I wouldn't be the man I am today

Or become the hero I will be.
