new poem..
Survivor or More?
Black eye taken for my brother
Abusive father
Family rejection
I am, I AM!
Right brain
Holistic, prosodic, intuitive
Expressive, intelligent
Parents don’t understand
Please understand!
Leaving home
Who really cares?
Treasures by the side of the road
Modeling, I am pretty.
Bartending, I hold my own.
Dirty martini
Dishwater blonde
Loving lace
Raincoat and high heels
Wanting more
Leaving him
Taking son
Only $2000
Hand me downs
Mismatched dishes
Date rape
No one really cares
Treasures on the side of the road
Italian man
Solid
Left-brain
Analytic,
Verbal,
Logical.
Honest first dinner
Security
Safety
Safe.
Material needs
Needing to be needed
Two more kids
Do I really care?
Treasures on the side of the road
Crooked eyebrow
Impish smile
Sensitive neck
I moan
Ella Fitzgerald
Merlot
Vodka/Cranberry
Vodka/Grapefruit
Beauty
All define me.
Trouble follows,
Life evolves,
Tarot, searching.
Simplify,
Simplify!
More than survive!
A girl my lord
In a flatbed ford
Slowing down to take a look at me.
I should really care!
Now its about me,
A treasure driving down the side of the road.
