Poetry: Change

I am so much like you
Even though you're gone
Everything goes swell, then it all goes wrong
Why can't I just be me, be happy and set free
Why did you have to go, you left me here to bleed...

Normality shapes me - Sets me up happy
I don't know what it's like - To have a mind set free
I follow after - Everyone
And to me it seems - Like so much fun
If you want me to go - I'd go with you
I'll try it once - A time or two
You tell me what to be - Who I am
Beat me up, take away - My soul again

I don't care - What you say
But I can't - Die today
Go be alone - All by yourself
Live your life - Sitting on a shelf
Up high away - From the world
And as I write - Thoughts unfurl
Salvation's free - To everyone
Just pay the fee -Self amusing is fun

Be Normal
Be Happy

    an endless winter stripped of beauty
    broken

    A big glass mason jar dated 1898 sits atop my old buffet

    a handy place to drop my loose change at the end every day.

    BITTER LOVE

    Gloomily sitting by my drink I see,

    A once true love that used to be,

    There she sits, so feminine

    Pajama Party

    Tonight my living room is cluttered

    with sleeping bags

    and leggy girls,

    with whispers and giggles
