Carly Steelberg Poet ABC

36

36 years OLD.
Never done what I was TOLD.
I never learned what I was 
supposed to KNOW.
I'm a seed looked over, so I 
don't GROW!

36 years old. I try to be who I 
want, but never CAN!
They keep saying you can't get 
all your needs met from your 
MAN!

36 years lived.
Growing closer to DEMISE.
I am even more jaded than I 
was at 35.

I can't give another 36...
not to THIS.
It must get better because this 
life I wouldn't MISS

I know I have been ignorant, 
but to know all this sadness 
makes me feel STRANGE.
I'm trying very hard, but I need 
to be given time to CHANGE.

I've made many wrong choices, 
and I have no true FRIENDS 
I might be happier if my past 
and I could make AMENDS. 

I'll keep pushing on with 
intentions that are PURE.
If I'm lucky maybe I will find 
love's CURE.
