Many things, I, too, should've been, and
many things I already, briefly, was... Am.
Skinny girl with curly hair shall I never be;
never, either, a flighty fool, 'cept in being wooed.
Lately, though, I ponder most what my future
tense will be; and tense this verb should I also be.
Favorite songs are helpless now, for readily
they tell lies - of happier times and memories,
send me longingly beyond - fixed upon their melody.
So many things I'd like to be, yet I am cursed as what?
A writer with no publisher? A teacher without a class?
Turn the radio up a bit, to drown out these silly thoughts.
I want to drown my sorrows in the many things I'm not.
A big thank you to Jennie for the comment, and to all of my new followers! Looking forward to blogging with all of you.
Hi Kelli,
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you. I just became your 10th follower, yaayy! I love Jo March. I fell in love with this movie when I was a kid. I've seen it countless times. As a writer, I see Jo as an inspiration. I like to inspire fellow writers through my blog. Hop over and check it out. I'm all the way up north.
Cheers!

Did you write this? It could've been written for me.
ReplyDeleteI used to be a skinny girl with curly hair.
