My Poem “The Flash”

Whether it is my thoughts,
my emotions, my feelings,
or every part of my body -
from my head to my toes -
my mind is, and has always been,
active and racing away with itself...
since I was a child, I have always
been fast on my feet,
fast with my fingers,
fast with my legs,
fast with my arms -
as if I had an internal lighting-bolt
propelling me that never needed to be recharged...
growing up, the natural spark within me
energised me with this
insatiable need for speed
and to break through every one
of the barriers that tried
to stop me in my tracks...
I have always had access to this
invisible and yet tangible force
capable of inspiring ideas
as well as giving me all that I needed
to exceed my limits
and to reach for the stars...
everybody who has ever known me
would tell you that no matter
what I am putting my heart,
my mind, my body, and my soul into
then I will not slow down, nor deviate,
until I have achieved something
that is beyond what I had intended...
I have learned the hard way
that sometimes you have
to make the most of every moment,
as if every experience was your last -
and that is why, just like people,
or like instances of time,
now you see me, now you don't,
I am here, there, everywhere,
and then gone again in a flash!
