10 years from now

by Danielle Ernst

the other night I
took a look back
at how my mind worked a few years ago
and I wonder when I’ll stop growing
I find that so much has changed
my opinions
my priorities
my goals in life
even my loyalties
I feel like I’m shedding so much
old skin
like everyday I get one step closer
to becoming the woman I want to be

sometimes I think about
where I was this night maybe 10 years ago
what I was thinking
how I was thinking
and I have to laugh a little
cuz now I think about where I want to be
on this night
10 years from now
who will I be
and will I be happier
who is next to me
and will I think back
and wonder
what I was thinking
and how I was thinking
on this night so long ago
