  • Been on a hiatus for awhile, but I'm back and have the itch to write some poetry.

My Life

sometimes I don't know what to do
I feel mixed up and so confused
my life hasn't gone the way i'd planned
i'm all grown up yet not a man
i've worked all my life with nothing to show
no house no cars no fancy clothes
i've made mistakes, that's for sure
i'm just not sure what they were
some people say
i don't agree
that one is one who's only three
but that's one thing i'd never change
she's my life, my everything

tenderpoison commented on My Life

at the end of the day..by which I mean when we make our grand departure...the "things" of this world are not going to miss us, or mark our passage in any tangible way...it is the love we give, and the love we receive that defines the quality of our life. You and I are the same age, and I can totally understand the line about being grown but not feeling like an adult...for cryin' out loud, I have a kid that's an adult (legally, nominally) and I still struggle with the what the heck I'm supposed to be doing with my life...and if anything I've ever done has mattered in the least...but then I look at my kids...and it all makes a kind of sense.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
