The days are upside down

A whirlwind of unknowns

Each morning, I face them

A mirror image of who I am

But where do I need to be?

I overlook the important

To dwell in the mundane

Endlessly searching for me

Wondering where I went

Yet, never finding myself

It’s a brutal pattern

A continuous thread

Unraveling, dangling

With no scissors in sight

To cut away the fray

Until it is too late

Everything I have done

Denigrated, criticized

Until the attacks cease

Forever brought to an end

Authors Note: Just letting you know I am fine. My poetry, lately, has been reflective of those who are not fine. I am merely a voice for those who cannot speak…

It’s all rusted now
Torn and tattered
Years of neglect

I wish I could disavow
Thoughts too scattered
Lacking self-respect

I’ve walked a fine line
Unafraid to crossover
My time, so measured

Though forlorn, I am fine
With the promise of clover
And a life, truly treasured

Writing Prompt – Rusty Bearings – Day 8/31
Daily Post: Forlorn

Wow, it’s been 4 years!

Good afternoon/evening/morning!

I hope the day is bringing you much joy!

Today, I celebrate four years since publishing my first piece of poetry on WordPress. What an amazing journey it has been for me, I have met the most wonderful people, have been inspired by so many more, and look forward to what 2018 has in store for me.

Technically, I began my blog in October 2013, but didn’t share any poetry until January 8, 2014. So does that make today my Poemversary or my Poetday? lol

Thank you, to all of you, for your love and encouragement. I know I’ve said it before, but I hope you all realize how much it means to me. Your comments, likes and friendship, make my heart sing ❤
