Finding Middle

Nineteen and sharp
I've seen all I need
and I never forget.
Anything else-- I already know better.

Now forty is just a sunset away
and the foundation that got me here is crumbling,
full of every crack in everything I thought was for sure.

So clear
all I don't know now.
So unclear
how to get beyond my past and present to some better mix of both.
