Ellen Hansen Poem
Sitting Pretty
when you're not looking
do you consider me
what i'm thinking
why i stay
away
did you know that i do
your
not mine
and i'm a nobody's girl
suffocated
by those who were looking at me looking back at them
willing then
took their kill
i stay away
even when you are looking
especially then
been bled out
i'm just a shadow of my former self
sitting pretty someplace else

Ellen Hansen Poem
Unfamiliar Freedom
To immerse oneself in
all our familiar comforts
does not set us free
To follow only what we think
we need and want
does not set us free
To believe with certainty
what is best for us and
strive for it
does not set you free
To appreciate just one familiar
comfort creates a passage
with unbound freedoms
To move past not knowing
what we need
we can be found
To believe that any trodden terrain
has purpose for what
we need holds merit
in freedom from
certainty

Ellen Hansen Poem
My Heart Falls
Skips a couple of beats
My breathe stops
With sudden silence
My eyes tear
My skin grows warm
Remembering when I see
What used to be
Then a heavy fog rolls in
It weighs me down
Down onto the ground
Deeper my heart falls
No smiles now
Just rush of solemn pain
I long for sweet the day
Lightly the rain again
