Open Gem

I lost my zing
for all things I use to do
Once upon a time I would sing
but... dancing was my thing
Physically deterioration stands in my way
so here is what I say
My feelings through a poem
My inner most feelings no wheeling or dealing
Just showing my feelings
Once upon a time
I could do
In so many other ways
and now I am blue
Happy I am with the gift of words
Singing in the wind like the birds
Escaping the torturest life I call mine
I would leave in a drop of a dime
Forsaken I feel
When you see my open Gem
