Angela Crabtree Poet Rhyme

Maybe

No matter how I strive
it still doesn't jive.
Maybe I could say something brilliant.
Maybe I should be extra resilient.
Maybe I could, but I won't.
I've been listening to that song
that if I cry I am wrong.
Be mature and tighten my brow?
No, thanks. Can I have that blanket now!
Am I wrong to assume I'm still a flower in bloom?
Are you right when you say I am just built this way?
Maybe I'll grow and it's all just for show.
Maybe I could, but I don't.

Paul Callus January 4, 2021 at 7:51 AM I think I've read a recent poem of yours which tackles the same topic, Angela. You are who you are, deciding your way of living, making your choices, irrespective of what others say. ~ Regards // paul Angela Crabtree January 5, 2021 at 9:59 PM Thank you, Paul.
