Can it be time for make believe?

I have to think maybe so.

Time to make up a story

That never happened years ago.

 

Left at the gate like a race horse,

Who never broke clean.

Just startled when the gate opened,

But failed to get in the race.

 

Never the less the race goes on.

I'm but a poor writer, struggling

To put a thought together

And call it a poem.

I love your clear expression - I had a tickle of the pain and it nearly caused a tear to form in my eyes while I reminisced. I think this is where we want to start over having knowledge of our past going forward with the new life to do it with. Thank you for sharing your emotions and thoughts.

I like the title… Very original. ;-)

Oh, I think you do have stories to tell. Perhaps your memory or your upbringing prevents you from writing the juicy stuff in story form. So, it appears that you are stuck in the realm of writing a poem every day even though some days you can't think of anything to write about anymore. That's why I only write one poem a week. And even at that, I find myself writing the same poem I wrote 10 years ago again. Stories of my life are unending and I've still got a lot of them to tell that I haven't yet--both nasty and good--hurray!

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
