I want to be more like you,
but I know you're bad for me
and where I aim to go.
I always looked up to you.
Found you to be something wonderful.
Then I grew up.
I still want to be like you.
You're life is so glamorous,
So full of adventure
And trials, I'm sure.
With the things you do,
I'm sure there's no shortage.
The things you do,
The things you feel free to do,
The way you freely give yourself,
It must be painful.
For you mentally;
and for your family to witness.
But perhaps it's that you don't feel,
anymore,
the pain, or much of anything.
You're so beautiful;
Even chocked full of drugs.
I don't look up to you any more.
But I still wish my life
were a little more
like yours.
WELCOME
..and here are a few things to keep in mind:
This blog contains mostly my poetry and a few thoughts from time to time. The thoughts will be entered when and wherever I feel necessary to keep things in proper order. Thoughts and things not belonging to me will be denoted with asterisks. Poems will be archived by the date which they were written, not by that which they were posted. I tend to update things a month or few after being written so as to keep current issues from wandering unattended around the web.
Enjoy...

“The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean; not to affect your reader, but to affect him precisely as you wish.”
