I Gotta Be Me Not You

Vintage Words

.

For the last time, and then the topic

closes, siphoning off my body fluids

won't work. Look until your dreams break,

I relinquish  none of what you must earn 

elsewhere.

.

Glean, scrape, capture a word and take

it with you. That is where a dreamer

lives vicariously. One day, some year,

you will enter a room with a desk and

paper, quill and ink, and like Zhivago,

you will become you.

I heart this. Great job!


"It is a terrible thing to be so open. It is as if my heart put on a face and walked into the world" -- Sylvia Plath.
