Barbara Barry-Nishanian Poet Rhyme

I'D Like To Leave Me

I’d Like to Leave Me! 

 I’d like to leave me;
But where would I go?
The outside and inside
They both each other know.

Ill just be around here
If I really need me.
Wrapped up in attitude,
A feisty me to be.

I’m having a break up,
I’m reaching for the stars
Forget all that nonsense.
So and so is from Mars.

I’ll chart my Diva Course
Just morals to follow.
Make a new effort ,
Try to save a dollar.

I’m walking in footsteps
Left on my heart and soul
I’m going to kick butt
Be I ever so bold.

Not who you think I am
 Who you’d like me to be.
I’m free of your judgements
For I know God likes me.

Out I’ll go tomorrow
I’m facing life a new.
Relearning how to live
With me…..without you!

We tend to be our harshest judges, don’t we? You express so well the insight of reflection. Brilliantly written! Congratulations on having your poetry featured. Blessings xxoo Barbara Barry-Nishanian March 29, 2023 at 11:03 PM WOW! Just found I'd never thanked you for your kind comments. I'd never be so rude as to not thank you for sharing what you liked. I appreciate why or what was appreciated. I know your poems, so coming from you... all I can say is thank you so much. Stay well my friend.

Vijay Pandit March 26, 2018 at 8:00 AM This is very deep, Barbara..a discourse of inner thoughts many feel (but few will admit), cleverly expressed. I liked the positive, assertive ending. Barbara Barry-Nishanian March 26, 2018 at 12:01 PM Thanks for discussing poem and not just content. This helps me more than can imagine. I am honest to a fault I've been told before. Thanks for visiting.
