Me, Myself and I

Languishing in a limbo of roles perpetually gleaning reading ripe tombs and myths a child, a child dreaming parroting fancies in pretty pink braiding wisps on a razor straps edge the perfect daughter to become when all that was wanted was a son… life passed by for the adult child caring for mother, sister, brother never really finding a meaning of she mothering mother friend and companion to father oh where was she? excel… a touch tones sympathetic plight graft the colors, the paint the light, the mold the seemingly endless mission…life languishing in a limbo of roles captured waif, soldered wife pie baker, clothes maker, gardener twist the seam of an unknown dream thirty years on hold half a lifetime, square peg in a round hole then she came, who was she you ask why me, myself and I bloom on a rose I saved me stepped off the cross and became.....me Contest The Right Time Poet: D.

Much to like here.. I see you developing in this one... twist the seam, I think is awesome. I favour this one because it is all "YOU." Gotta go... time to get Verity out of the bath... She is singing a "chicken song" right now and I'm reading this painful read and trying not to laugh at her singing, "Chicken poop is green and white, yuck a doodle doo" OH MY WORD!!

Thirty years on hold is a long time but some women go a lifetime and never get to bloom..Sometimes when they have finally have time health, vision, or joints are gone..Great topic.Sara
