Now Here Is A Poem!

Post by Jennifer »

If I can stop one Heart from breaking
I shall not live in vain
If I can ease one Life the Aching
Or cool one Pain
Or help one fainting Robin
Unto his Nest again
I shall not live in Vain.
--- Emily Dickinson

Jennifer,
Years ago, when I had a talk radio show I interviewed a beatnik poet named Frank T. Rios; he read this poem on the air. Years later, his words still haunt me:

“Sharing”

I have a monster running around in my head, he holds this carrot he calls perfection.

He wouldn’t let me leave the house unless I’m perfect and when I do I don’t feel worthy.

I love my monster, he lies about me, tells me I’m better than you, that I’m the hippest dude in America, that I invented black.

Takes my hand in the darkness, hums a tune when I’m scared.

I know he means to kill me, shut me down with silence, whispers - don’t, if only, maybe, you can’t.

I don’t know where to go from here; he has me by the throat.

And down the night’s vision of the poem I slide like quicksand, still thinking.

I have a monster in my head, yelling about perfection.

--- Frank T. Rios

Jennifer,

I have some words I like very much and live by.

"You must do the things you think you cannot do"
-Eleanor Roosevelt

I really like these words. I had an ex-husband and other people in my life who made me feel stupid and that I couldn't do certain things. FUCK THEM! I can! I will! ;)
