Poem


Since a little girl, I have been sensitive.  Hiding behind mother was my place to be.
Mother used to say that I was born different.  My eyes were pools of sadness, dark
brown and full of sorrow. As I grew words said effected me deeply. I did not brush
them off, that was not me.  The words were like scars on my soul, they dwell there.
Terrible, awful death shadowed my days and how I handled it was to go deep within.
I dwelled there, happy with imagination.  I made up stories and lived them.  I would
read books in a secret corner of the attic.  I liked to wander the woods near home.
I saw things there that touched me, little baby birds, young squirrels playing, nature 
growing all around me.  I told my sadness to my kitty, she was a good listener. 

in woods wandering
I find my sweet peace and tranquility-
green lush vines creeping

Soon, I was a teenager.  I was quiet and alone in my private world.  Words lashed at
my soul like whips.  Perhaps the words were not even that terrible, I twisted them 
that way. I was extremely sensitive and it was a curse. Yet, in the end it turned out
to be my most precious quality, sensitive to all I see and feel in this world has made
me the poet that I am today.  I can now write with soul all that I see wrong in the
world with emotion.  But part of the little sensitive girl hides inside of me, often she
is hurt by a word said, even if innocently said. It is a curse and a blessing.

the birds are chirping
they are calling me to the green lushness- 
words fall from my pen
