Waxing Poetic


its days like these 
my heart hurts
when the stacks of bills
and the dishes
and the floors
and everything
clamors for my attention
and all i can think about  
is being carefree
feeling pretty
strumming a guitar
a trove of opportunities
at my fingertips
i swallow the lump in my throat
and realize this is my life now
this is what i want
as much as i miss my life before
on days like these

  1. This was lovely and just what I was feeling today! I just want time to relax!!! I'd love a hammock, a notebook, and a pitcher of lemondae! Yes, the life of the luxurious!

  2. Exactly! It seems that my poetry lately turns into whatever Baby is watching on the tele.

    Has a high pitched voice...
    A monkey is her best friend...
    Dora the Explorer...
