Hello!

Hello, hello, hello to you! Another day of poetry. I wonder if you like poetry? Obviously I do, but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Even if you don’t like poetry, I appreciate you being here. I have been writing poetry ever since childhood. I decided I had to start writing in code because people were snooping in my diary; I couldn’t have that!

It was a blessing in disguise because it opened up a whole new world for me. Sadly, I lost a bunch of my writings in a housefire back in 2001. I lost piles and piles of poetry and was so upset over it. Since then I have not acquired nearly as much as I have lost, but as time keeps ticking on, hopefully, I can achieve at least a fraction of what I have lost.

Over Fifteen Years Ago…

Over fifteen years ago I wrote the poem I am posting today. I will not say who it is about, but I was in a miserable state of mind. To be honest, I have been miserable most of my life. I am happy to say though that today is a good day and I am feeling very grateful. My kids are well, my husband is well, and life is well, so all is well. I need to be more grateful overall. It will be a daily process. I hope you are well as well. I wanted to say “well” as many times as possible if you didn’t guess that already. Lol 😉

So here we go…

Realization

Why can’t I just snap my fingers

And make this all disappear

My life till then seemed average

Did not mind that it was average

Now realizing it’s just average

I know that I want more

But how could I

Leave it all behind

Could I survive

Even just one night

Who do I love

Do I love him

Where did my feelings go

Why won’t they tell me

If I could hide

Beneath a bridge

For two months straight

No one finding me

Maybe I could set

My priorities

And I could find

Myself again

Until next time, stay safe and be blessed!
