Yvonna Walton Poem
Tired of the bright side
The perfect goody goods
Wondering what it’s like to do the opposite
To actually feel good about being bad
Wondering why those others kids do
No –
Not kids but grown
Those out their parent’s house and on their own
Yes I wonder how it is
To look danger in the eye and not
Scream for mom or dad
To be angry and have that ability
To carelessly lash out and
At the end feel better knowing that
Yes I am strong I am fearless
And I can take care of myself
Still I wonder do they feel sadness
Or is it bottled away
Or can they understand happiness
Or is it a one-sided game in which
They play and play and play again
After countless times and countless defeat
They never win –
Why do I want to cross over again?
They look danger in the eye
It is all they have ever known
So are they really grown?
No
But mentally and emotionally
Are still growing
And they carelessly lash out always
Because they are always angry
I know they must feel sadness
And that little bottle
That anger
Is an inner volcanic eruption
And the game is only one-sided because
They never stopped to study the rules
So they choose to accept defeat
Followed by an angry retaliation
After observing an emotional coaster ride
Observing those wanting to die
But never completing this victimless crime
I have decided to decline this darker side

Yvonna Walton Poem
In a room full of lovely ladies
you stood out.
Not only your physical but
your attitude and visible esteem
are captivating.
And I wonder how you manage...
humility
handle the ever going and
never ceasing jibber jabber of those
who actually believe they know it all.
I wonder how you maintain a smile.
Miss you are truly beautiful yes -
quite amazing
But I am curious
Why?
Does it hurt?
Will you ever break?
How much can you take?
The right sticks and stones could
destroy your bones
and words can do some damage.
Still I wonder how
with such a bright smile
and confident walk
Miss Pretty, how do you manage?
