Poetry: Longing

by Danielle Marie Crume

Created on: May 14, 2008

I Need Me.

I feel like closing my door to others, for a moment.

While alone in-side, I want to tear off all my leaves

I don't want these old flowers any more

Bare to the stem and root.

I want to take off all the old shit

To allow the new me to blossom without distraction.

Once I rip all this old off of me

And a few fresh leaves grow,

I will open my door back up

And allow others back in

To help me see the need to clip and trim when necessary

When I'm not growing to my highest potential

And those dis-eased pieces are holding me back.

And I will share with them the beautiful flowers

That will soon blossom in my garden.

They will bring joy and abundance to us all

A colorful pleasure for all to see.

When my treasured new flowers grow.

Right now, I need me.
