I've been writing a lot ever since my dad got really sick and was hospitalized in spring. I had all these feelings I didn't know what to do with (again) and started writing poems and a novel. I wrote this poem "Rocking Chair" on 6/1/09 shortly after the life-changing revelation: I have issues?!
Rocking Chair
haven't you heard it?
the what?
the girl
she talks she whispers
what does she say?
no one knows
she's too afraid
that girl
she sits
peering from behind her eyes
curled up in a rocking chair
holding herself
hugging herself
willing her lips to smile
it's a sad story, really
she's been sitting there for years
trying to rock herself to sleep
trying to rock away the tears
