Oh Gary, I really felt this piece deeply.

"for stagnation is self destruction"
^^ beautifully worded and so true!
I'm glad this poem ended with a sense of hope, realizing the problem is always the first step. I know I've been there, am there at times. This is an amazing honest piece of poetry, I love it!

Ahhh yes...sweet nostalgia. I've often wished to be 25 again....just with my 49 year old brain....guess we can't have it all! I thoroughly enjoyed this!
