This Is Who I Am

I used to fear that I'd be in my forties,
packing school lunches,
giving numb kisses,

and screaming for freedom
on the inside.

 

But I'm not worried about that anymore.

 

I'll just sit here in my twenties,
and listen to the incessant beeping of the
phone off the hook,
staring at the cracks in my walls,
collecting the pools of sorrow
that leak from my eyes
and drip from my chin.

 

This makes more sense anyway.

do one and you will certainly never have to worry about the other. i hope this is just a poem, it is an excellent one, by the way...but no way for you to spend any part of your life...although i have spent a few days like that myself

Mia although this is as Allen says a strong poem with all the punch of a hammer to the chest I hope it is not true because in your twenties with the talent you exhibit here on the net, the beauty I see in ;your profile pic, and the years of youth still ahead of you there is no way you should feel this sad. Big hug from old Boppa Perry.

Mia, this is a strong write, it speaks well of the emotions within.
