Wilma Neels Poet Free verse

'carefree Me'

Sometimes I wish I didn't care
Wish I could just walk away 
Without feeling like 
A traitor 
Without feeling like 
A quitter

They don’t even know 
My clandestine battles 
They don’t even know
The smile on my face 
Is my weapon
Against the world 
And it's opinion 

To be lost 
Must be awesome at times 
And to be discovered 
The reward 

I sometimes wish I was lost

Then I know
No one expects me to be a pillar
No one expects me to be the rock

I sometimes feel I need to be

In between all this I miss being 
The carefree me

Kabuteng P.Ink K. August 7, 2014 at 10:57 AM Hello there Missy! I sure smiled when I saw that you had a new poem here! And boy oh boy, how I can so relate with you on this one-- it was like you voiced out what I felt (but more succinctly, you know how wordy I can be)-- sometimes, it is somewhat of a comfort to know that there are people who can truly empathize with us. Mwahugs! Also, this somewhat reminded me of this beautiful song, "Warrior is a Child" by a local artist, love this song.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nm2LGm35MDo
