Skate

Putting them on
feeling that it was wrong
letting my feet rise off the ground
and onto four wheels in a line
i felt that surge
that long lost talent begin to stir
i felt those muscles flex
i still after all these years felt no hurt
almost as a reflex
the smile came across my lips
i felt the air rush through my hair
and i felt power in my finger tips
i hate that she kept me from this from so long
to afraid to let go of my past
but now after it all
it is finally done
"if your not here now...you don't matter"
thats what i hear in my mind..
i loved the feelings
and i know it ended to quick
i just cant wait
until i once again get to go out and skate
