Verse: Collegiate

What to do
How to plan
When to go
Who to deal
Where am I headed

Do I keep pushing,
pulling
Afraid.
Plan on finding me
Go search for...
what?
Dealt me a new hand
Heading toward...

I don't know.
Abstract thoughts overflowing
As water in a water balloon
Stretching, becoming thinner

But holding on
Trusting that no part will snap,
transparent though it may become--
Knowing that there are plenty of chances
Plenty of multi-colored water balloons in the box
