My Meanderings
I don't write as deep as others
I sometimes can't find the right words.
But what I write really matters
It's a big pieces of my life, scattered
in one special way or another.
I can sometimes write witty prose
and at times it can be rather silly.
But most of the time
there is something inside
that just needs to get out and be known.
If it seems to come from a dark place
That's because it probably did.
There's a lot in my life
that cuts like a knife
I can revisit, at times I feel safe
I have memories that make me smile
that come pouring up from my heart
I tell them true
when I share them with you
That they don't make me laugh would be a denial
So accept my stories and poetry
as simply a part of my being
I can't change who I am
What you see is what you get
I came from a diverse family tree.
