PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

circling issues that are not mine to approach



so tempted to turn around and count another roach



stumbling past tests by the skin of my teeth



silently standing up for my beliefs



singing out my pains and smiling my way to joy



hoping to be accepted as i sit and play coy



believing for a blessing that's bigger than me



one that's so real i can feel it and see



it's been set aside with only my name



a gift for behaving and winning the game



prove that you're real all of the time



and more than a woman submersed in the slime



run to the edge of the beginning of forever



open your mind and be more than just clever



widen the prospects of what you can do



being self taught as a selected few



get close enough to know the real you



and  maybe even learn a thing or two



themselves not realizing that they are your student



and that learning from you is the ultimate compliment



to being in your presence and smiling back



relieveing the loneliness releasing the lack



unconditional acceptance, the ultimate love



the only intensity i truly dream of



i may already have it but certainty is later



reliving it all will make all greater



so for now i will let go and fluidly live



continue to teach, continue to give



i have nothing left but intangible means



to continue moving through these challenging scenes



good thing to be blessed with a mind that's vast



i know i will be first and not ever the last!
