Description The lights flicker to life, and the incandescent bulbs fill the room with a soft glow. I see a stage, and on it, the players. What production have I happened upon?

The scenes speed by, and slowly I realize the play is my life. With that realization, this production gives me great fear. How do they know so much about me?

I see familiar points in my life. The ones that really shaped who I have become. The scenes with the one that got away. The day I decided not to trust anymore. The one that re-awakened my emotion.

As I continue to watch, I find other moments. The night it all went wrong. The time I lost my faith. Moving away from home for the first time. The pain of loss. Tearing myself away from a compulsive habit.

Soon it gets to the point that these moments are ones I haven't yet experienced. The day I finally find her. My debts are finally gone. Teaching my child to ride a bike. Growing old with the one I love.

I can only hope the play shows the truth. The curtain closes, and everything fades to black.

Time does go by so fast. I still feel like a Sophmore but I'm a junior...I still feel that it's only 2005 and all my Senor Friends from school will come back. It's hard to watch it all play out with a sense that it's not going to be the same as the old days. Time is change and you have to learn to move with it...WOW that's is soo deep of me...

as I learned from being a poet, you have to go with whatever inspiration pops in your head cause when you try from scrath, it usually sounds bad.
