This Time Around Poem by Aimee Rozen

Have you ever gotten tired
of going in circles?
Retracing steps along a path
you had sworn never to walk again?
Memories resurfacing but the
actors are different
this time around.
Do you feel like your past repeats itself
over and over again?
New faces, yes,
but always the same situation.
Then you, my friend,
are like me.
Living the same old tired scenarios
day after day.
Monotonous, isn't it?
I want adventure!
I want excitement!
I want something different
than what everyone else is content with.
This time around
I'm doing it my way.
