Emotional Weeds
21 oct 2014 3:45 PM
My deepest feelings are so hard to express
They have rooted in and overgrown to a mess
Hacking away with the poetry mower
The weeds grow faster and I get slower
Clogging the drains so my tears flood my face
Hiding the beauty what a disgrace
I work so much on this overgrown mire
That my house is neglected its condition is dire
Oh why did I wait so many years letting them grow
Why didn't I take care of them when they were small and easy to mow
Now I am happy and then I am sad
I am excited and then I am mad
So much emotion in this garden once fair
I want to give up but I just don't dare
No my Father did not teach me to quit
He taught me to get back up from each hit
He gives me courage and strength through it all
I will have it cleaned up one day once and for all
