Lately I <br />have juggled butterflies, <br /> <br />ran downhill <br />trying to go up, <br /> <br />clung too close <br />squozze to hard <br />suffocated those I love. <br /> <br />Lately I <br />have been <br />lately <br />to <br />realize <br />I'm late <br />and the moment passed. <br /> <br />Lately I, <br />hesitate <br />to unclench my tense <br />fist, <br />uncoil my deadly eye, <br /> <br />release my gentleness. <br /> <br />Lately I <br />am much too late <br />to unhesitate <br />step up <br />my courage <br />thus <br />be on time <br />when it counts. <br /> <br />Lately I <br />have to unstop <br />being; <br />Lately.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lately-6/
