By The Rules


I am not quite there yet, someday I may be,
A shining example, of what the world expects of me.

Once in a while I am angry, sometimes I get detached,
Often a little out of sync, but I feel there is a catch.

Every time I try to change, to what you want me to be,
The rules you play by always change,  so for now I will remain me.

(Stoic)

    Half this week has sped by and I have enjoyed reading many poems. Just have to love the diversity of the poets here even in the contests. I am so happy to have been able to read your poetry today Stephen. Have a wonderful day and may you find inspiration to write more along the way. Love, Carol
