Poem 157- Excitement

Excitement

To say I am excited 

Would be an understatement

I am over the moon

Shot out of a cannon

Past the Milky Way

Elated.

You are for me and

I am for you and

No one can stop

Us.

To say I am happy

Well that would be

Underplaying it. I am

Smile till it hurts

Jump up and down

High fives and fist bumps

Sublime.

You for me

Me for you

And the future

Is ours to take.

You are the one I love

You have helped

Me to know myself

And be brave

And trek across

The desert of

Life and know

When I get back

The oasis of calm

And love will

Envelope me

And the days

We have left

Will be the

Best I’ve ever

Had.

Poem 156- GIVE ME A BREAK

GIVE ME A BREAK

I’m a good girl

I try hard, I’m kind

To everyone

Give me a break

I’m sensible

Sensitive, sympathetic

Empathetic

I breathe people

Why is it all so tricky then.

Sometimes let in with no pass

Sometimes left in

The cold shocked

And frozen

Give me a break

I’m trying as

hard as I can

and without help

I can’t do any better.  

Poem 155-Boundaries

Boundaries

Let’ set some ground rules

Let’s decide how far to go

Let's cut off any chance for magic and intrigue and

Surprise

Let’s close the doors

Lock the windows

Force the change you

Want to see and

Preach the rules that

Have no power out of

Context.

Let’s pretend we know the

Right way because we're

Grown and make the

Small ones prisoners

Make everyone your prisoner

Come on captives, do as I say
