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.
