Deep Inside My Head Revealed

Deep inside my head enclosed in the deepest center core of my brain
     is a file so full and over feed for years has caused splitting migraines

     Afraid to reveal things of the past and future of my inter self
     I've kept it confined to just let it sit on the shelf

     When a soft hush whisper in the lowest of a voice I said
     "Your reserve is full you must write and rejoice".

     But where to put it to store it I thought it's piled up in years a large heap
     some in bundles some on a rack and old ones hiding way in the back

     On Poetry Soup of course so younger poets can read and read
     and absorbed while giving me very kind scores

     The younger they are the more they can restore
     accumulating a collection of my cherished writes I so adore

     So when I'm gone and my file drawer has closed you will always remember
     Of a poet who gathered and shared her personal songs of life's reflector.

Thank you Jan. I agree long after we are gone it will still have plenty of room to set in another's mind to ponder.
