Slow and Steady

Thank You Notes For My Obsession

I remove my fingers from my keyboard,
Stopping, daydreaming.
Remembering the sweet moments that get me.
Circling through my head.
The moments I remember.
Giving my thanks to the many people and aspects that continue floating and living on.

Thank you, my Family.
Giving me praise unknowingly
on concepts I wish I could explain
Praising me for my unknown talent
My wishful thinking,
on a task I wished I completed more often
My desired writing obsession

Thank you, my Friendly Sister M.
The goofball --
Yet the second grounder to my life.
A craziness and comfortable sense of being
That urges me to achieve the same mentality
in a focus for my ideal future.
A part of my complete obsession

Thank you, my Friend B.
A similar, if not excessive craziness
mimicked by my sister.
Helping me with the constant want
to daydream,
to jump to a computer or notepad;
Screwing my thoughts into wanting to work on nothing but writing;
Assisting me to work through thoughts that I struggle through;
Driving me to complete the work that should be complete;
Voicing the necessary critiques:
"Use this word instead," "This isn't right," "Choose something different..."
Conversations of a great obsession for a chance at a great future:
"We'll work so well together... when we're older..."
For my infamous writing obsession

Thank you, my Friend K.
Equally assisting B and I with the same struggles.
Letting me know of independence
Independence I dream of
Independence I wish to one day strive for
An independent sense of being that drives my
thoughts daily and nightly
in my obsession
for my ideal future.

Thank you, my Friends P and J.
Fantasy and conceptual ideas I circle back to daily, nightly,
Giving me fuel for my imaginative obsession.

Thank you all for being my
Family.
The biggest, greatest thing
That I have ever had over these years,
Is your love and support.
The obsession to stay with you all drives me to
Be who I am.
Thank you all.
