Sick of Me

Time and time and time again,
shaking hand and black inked pen,
poised above the prelined sheet,
where thoughts and rhymes and memories meet.

Trying to see the glass half-full,
feels like wearing itchy wool,
to my own self must be true,
the color of my world is blue.

I hate to bring you people down,
my poem's angst goes 'round and 'round,
Even I am sick of me!
So there I go, just let it be.

Hey let me say you have kept true to yourself only as you can not force what is not there at the present. But you have wrote about it amazingly. Danielle, remember I told you along time ago to be true to yourself and your poetry to write from the heart as that is where the best poetry comes from? Well dear you have done it with this poem and it is amazing you have written what is in your heart and it is not forced. Love, Carol

Poetry is art of the heart, and the bad goes with the good; keeps a proper balance of perspectives- So goes confessional poetry, dear poetess- Thank-you for sharing! poet butterfly

You're not the only one who feels this way, Danielle. There are many times when I wish I could be someone else, but everyone has periods where their worlds seem blue. Sad but heartfelt write to which many of us can relate! Love, Carolyn

I think we all have these "dark" times....we can often be hardest on ourselves. It will pass ... in the meantime....other people can appreciate and find commonality in your poems...so keep writing. You have the talent to touch the reader's heart. :)
