* I QUIT *
I finally lost my temper today
and said all of the things I wanted to say
to all of the people that had dared cross me,
and I laughed when they looked disbelievingly.
I conveniently lost my memory
and forgot all the things I'm supposed to be;
I was living in the moment for once in my life,
forgetting I'm a daughter, stepmother, and wife.
I seem to have lost my way somehow,
for there is no direction in the here and now.
I'm testing the old theory that ignorance is bliss
look carefully at me, do you see something amiss?
I've finally gone and lost my mind,
and it is not something I desire to find.
I hereby resign from life's venomous fray;
I'm halfway to insanity, and here is where I think I'll stay.

Poetry: A day in my life
by Lilly Mantra
Take a walk in my shoes.
Experience one day in my life.
See the anguish, the exhaustion,
The terror, the strife.
I wake up in
The Duty of a Soldier's Wife
I salute our flag
With my oven Mit
Changing diapers to the sound
Of freedom's wit
Serving my country
Proud
by Ariel Eton
Here inside this body
Lives a ME that no one knows
A ME that's hard to understand
A ME I haven't chose
To be bitter and misgiving
Is
The world on my shoulders, a smile on my face
The girl in the mirror is hard to embrace
I'm a mother of three, yet I tend
by Erin G
A day in my life
A sky of often-grey
A never-lifting cloud
An endless fall of rain
A bout of shining sun
Playing peek-a-boo
Between
