Where Is She Going? #septemberchallenge

Where is she going?
This young girl
With dreams in her pocket
And a bag full of hope..
A new life awaits her
She’s excited to go
To conquer the world
And be something more.

Where is she going?
She’s not so sure any more
A woman now….
She really doesn’t know
How her dreams came apart
And her plans didn’t start
But she knows
That she must
Keep following her heart.

Where is she going?
This woman at fifty
More sure of herself
She makes a new start
With a bag full of hope
And still following her heart.
No worlds to conquer
Except the one deep within

With a smile on her face
And her heart full of thanks
She has nowhere to go
She’s happy to stay
Living life in her own
Unique way.

  2. I believe that everyone will be able to see themselves in this poem, Corinne. As I read this a sense of calmness filled within me. Lovely lines, I must say!

  3. A lovely picture of this girl’s life…and eventually, you are happy to live it your way than what you think others may want.

  4. Loved the poem. Especially the portion where she reached the only part of the world left out…within her.

    Glad I found this prompt today on your page… 🙂

  5. I LOVE this Corinne! As I was reading it I kept thinking, “hey, this is me!” 😀 What a great poem.

  6. Beautifully expressed…love the quick change of thought and transition, so smooth and yet so challenging! So inspiring and yet so heart-wrenching! This poem pulled at the strings of my heart. And that is the quality of real poetry.

  7. Corinne, thank you for sharing your journey in this beautiful poem. I read all of the posts linked in it, and I can relate to many of your experiences. Let’s just say I cannot wait to have that 50s mentality 🙂 Confident, self-assured, content…yes please!

  8. Hi Corinne,
    Good to be here again after a long gap.
    A well versed one with lot of reality.
    Yes, this girl reached to the half of life
    but there is no sign of a midlife-crisis! 🙂
    Good going!
    Keep going
    Have a wonderful time and a profitable weekend! 🙂
    Best Regards
    ~ Phil
