An Ode To My 30th Year

By: Tara Kimberley Torme

In my life I’ve done so much

Published a book, written poetry, a play and the

such

30 years have gone by fast

But will my accomplishments really last?

Elementary school was mixed with good and bad

I wondered if for me there was anything to be had

High school in two different provinces and cities

Being bullied, beaten up and tons of baby kitties

College and University I sought out my real

dreams

Only to find out of mere broken moonbeams

Diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome six years ago

Therapy, job programs, new dreams, goals, old

dreams a no go

Past friendships reevaluated, broken off forever

New friendships, paths into a brand new endeavor

Meeting people online from all over the world

Australia, USA, England, all uncurled

Got into local paper, have A.S.S. group meets

A DVD called “Silent Meow” and personal

retreats

Traveling with my English pen pal

All over Vancouver, Whistler, The Rockies et al.

A new phase in my life now – where will that

lead

to?

In publishing, writing, other ventures anew?

I strive to keep my needlework afresh,

The Embroidery Guild is a part of my flesh

Other goals I have include marriage and kids

Perhaps being discovered as the next poetry whiz!

My A.S.S. group I intend to run again for next

year

And have a fresh blood of people and brand new

mental gear

My boyfriend mistake will never happen again

People like “Sweet Tim” just cause me too

much

pain!

What else can I say but this:

My poetry writing is back – I’m a poetry

whiz!

I’m saving up now for a bright new future for

tomorrow

I’m going to be more humble – in heart with

much

less sorrow.

My true personality comes out with patience and

time

Just get to know me – I taste better than a

lemon

or a lime

I’m as loyal – as loyal as can be

You being my friend will discover the real and

true me

Yes, my future looks bright – as bright as can

be!

Don’t you know nothing will get the better of

me?
