I’ve been writing free form/verse poetry since 2008. And this was a few years after I read Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse. I fell in love with the format and poetry in this book.
So over the last few weeks I’ve been writing more. Trying to find the right words to explain my complex emotions. I write from the heart and hope that it can resonate with someone. I would rather share how I’m feeling than sit with it bottled up.
Risking my Heart
I am scared of falling so hard.
Loving someone again, a hundred percent.
But what if?
What if,
He’s the last.
What if,
He’e the one to grow old together with.
Is that worth risking my heart?
When I feel safe
In his arms.
Wrapped in warmth and strength.
My face aching
From laughing with him.
When we fit so good together.
Like when the last piece of the puzzle slips into place.
Can I risk my heart?
It’s the Worst When I’m Right
I am a light in the world.
I give and give and
Give.
Receiving nothing.
Hope for the best.
And expect the worst.
It sucks when I’m right
Time and time again.
I can’t turn it off.
The swirling
Avalanche of throughts.
Hitting my cranium
Just as one leaves another enters.
Sometimes I just want to scream.
