My Home, My Pond, My Freedom

Away from the world
from the hustle and bustle
making friends with the residents
tucked in
among the cattails and bank of elephant ears
sitting in the dainty, mahogany lean-to
It seems it is just the screen that prevents me from sharing their world
a world where they can all live freely
but I too have all I need
hidden down here
everything is teeming with the excitement of life
yet so calm at the same time
the bullfrogs croak and splash around
the dragonflies come up to hum a hello from outside the screen
trying to tempt me to cross to the other side
of the barrier
even the giant elusive ones
which can usually be found seeking refuge in the tall weeds surrounding 
the water
attempt to lure me out
but I remain glued
against my comrades wishes
to the green adirondack chair in which I reside
I continue to watch as little water bugs bound across the surface
leaving miniscule ripples in their wakes
I sit and observe as the tabby leaps around
disturbing this peaceful moment
but I let her enjoy her adventure
released from my trance and emerging from behind the screen
only when the sun begins to fade
night
the time to build a fire under the stars
and to dance
to twirl around with the lightning bugs to the tune of the tree frogs 
chirping
I could stay here forever in my favorite hideaway
down by my pond in Long Lake
where I am free
free to think and catch my breath
to relax and enjoy the little things that make me smile
without the usual interruption of real life
The willow sways
and puts me at ease
as I admire my freedom once more

My Choice

They say to be true to yourself
They say you're so beautiful 
They say you're so bright
        "Just be you"....

But you know it's just how they tell you what you're expected to be. 

They say it with a dash of don't disappoint us
With a hint of be better
And a pinch of try harder in their tone

I'm supposed to be a smart, pretty and well behaved young woman
But I'm tired of the confusing orders

I'm putting an end to this ongoing war
These words are my treaty
No line to sign
No agreement or compromise 

Just read and try to understand 
I'm sorry to let you down
But I don't plan on living in the chains of your desires anymore
I'm breaking free
To find my own dreams
And to grasp someone's hand
And chase them together

My Inner Demons

If only you could see,
The things that roam inside.
They wander and creep from one corner to another.  
They want to introduce themselves to you,
But get stopped at the gate. 
Mouth wide open,
But unable to pass. 
Mind crowded,
Trying to escape. 
But out comes nothing. 
The chaos in my head,
The rawness of my wrists,
The dryness of my lips
That fail to utter a word. 
"I'm sorry", I repeat. 
I have so much to share but the best I can manage is a brief and quiet
"I love you"
Inbetween the long expanses of silence. 
That's all there is anymore. 
The misleading silence. 
Makes no sound to you
As it screams in my face. 
If only you could see
If I could make you hear,
Make you feel.
Walls caving in,
This pain is unmatchable.
