Thoughts-Unfinished

I image death it feels more like a memory, just like something I’ve already seen. When I see it do I try to run, or should I just let it be. What if it gets me? 
I don’t think I’ll live past 30. Where I come from most don’t even get that many. Knowing that should I just live carefree? I’m scared I’ll die a nobody. I know that I’ll never be the best person I could be. Most of my family continue to disagree. 
Every burden, every disadvantage, I have learned to manage. Yeah I know I’m damaged. I have this fear that I may just vanish. Some say that my thoughts are outlandish. 
I’ve been told I got a lot of brains but no polish, but I continue to amaze and astonish- still in the work.

Constance La France December 20, 2019 at 2:31 PM Cheyenne, the road to finding who you are is twisted and full of pits but that is called living and though some days may be dark, pour that emotion into your ink and become a poet, welcome to PoetrySoup, ~*~ Constance Cheyenne Callan December 20, 2019 at 7:52 PM Thank you so much! I love writing and I found it as kind of an escape from everything and it’s helped me a lot to find who I am and how to express myself. ??
