This Incarnation

By dottie

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Well, this incarnation really sucks. I'm not rich or thin or famous or 'in' nobody knows me 'cept family and kin. I live with an ex who is crazy and vain who's greatest joy is to bring me more pain. The scars and the bruises and lies I have told- bringing up children- putting dreams on hold. Now parents are dying and I'm getting old where did they go those visions of gold? Lost in the mist of days gray and old lost in the memories of love lost and bold. My chances have come and gone in a blink and now here I sit all alone just to think. This incarnation really sucks. I'd like another- next time with some luck. Written October 11th, 2001 © on Oct 11 2001 04:11 AM PST   0 • 18 • 10
