Anxiously awaiting something just around the bend,
Vicariously living love through words in the meantime
Expecting everything of myself
Noting carefuly when I fail to measure up
Doing everything I can to meet my aspirations
Embracing these roiling emotions
Standing to the side, thinking, hoping, dreaming
Observing from the outside, always from the outside
Reaching for everything within my grasp (and some things that are not)
Awe-struck daily by this amazing life
Dreaming of a future not yet realized
Re-living moments I'd rather forget
Enjoying the silly things while I still can
Asking the questions that no one dares to ask
Moving onward, ever onward
Exercising my mind and heart just as much as my body
Rushing towards the future, but still catching my heels on the past
This is me, right here and now

NIcely done...
I agree with Bedroom eyes, in that I did not realize it was an acrostic. Well, written, Hmmmmm could I do as well, probably not.
I am happy to get to know Caitlin, I like who I see.

thank you...I'm glad you like who you see...I was a little worried when I wrote it that it wouldn't be clear enough

Yes it was clear. One thing my sister said to me after defeating cancer the first time, was while she was waiting for life to HAPPEN to her, life was happening. Don't wait, wade in and live.

You did awesome! And it's nice to meet you Avendesora Dreamer. Now, a few things I want to point out before I forget...
In line five, [aprirations] should be spelled ASPIRATIONS.
In line nine, [withing] should be WITHIN.
And lastly, I am not sure you are aware of it or not, but in an acrostic, the title of the poem should be whatever it spells out. In this case, the title should be Avendesora Dreamer.
Now for the poem itself. I love it. It's brutally honest and open and simply dynamic. You have some good qualities and given the chance to fine tune them, you should do well in this life. Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to enter my contest. Good luck!

You did a GREAT job on this acrostic! I didn't even realize it WAS one until I saw your comment and read it again
That's a good thing actually, because so many acrostics look forced by trying to make certain letters work. VERY GOOD...best of luck to you in this contest

I love this. It came out very well and I can relate to a lot of it, including the first line especially.
I also like your last line and can relate to many in the middle such as Dreaming of a future not yet realized
and Observing from the outside always on the inside.
Nice job on your first acrostic! -
-
oh, yay...it's nice to know I'm not the only one who feels these things...
