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.”

I am Sarah, Myself

I am Sarah, myself.
I wonder what will become of this world.
I hear myself thinking.
I see what I can be.
I want to do well in life.

I am Sarah, myself.
I pretend to be too much of other people.
I believe there is only one thing to believe.
I touch everything I can see.
I feel wide-awake when I try to sleep.
I worry when I think of certain people.
I cry.

I am Sarah, myself.
I understand I can be no one but myself.
I say life does have a purpose.
I dream in pieces.

I am Sarah, myself.
