Phenomenal woman, That's me.

Act 12:

“It’s never too late… To Write A Poem

We all have poetry inside us. It’s writing from out heart. Poems can heal out hurts. They can transmit our love. Or our sorrow. They are beautiful gift. Find some solitude. Listen to your heart and write down your feelings. Let the words flow. You’ll be surprised.” – Patrick Lindsay

Quote in book: “A poem weighs more than a novel.” ~ Anonymous

A lot of these acts are getting me out of my comfort zone. I suppose that’s the point. Going out and doing things that you’ve never done. This is just like the painting thing. So, not my forte. I’m probably even more out of my element w/ Poetry and poems than I am w/ painting. At least I have paintings in my condo and I do go to a lot of museums to look at them. I don’t read a lot of poetry, cause quite frankly it goes over my head a lot and maybe it just reminds me too much of English Lit, where we had to analyze everything. Maybe I associate poetry w/ homework or work instead of just enjoying what’s on the page. Who knows? I do have one poem that I remember and that I love. It’s Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou

So, today I have two poems I wrote. I wrote this first one last night in preparation for today’s blog. I just as Mr Lindsay says “let the words flow”. In terms of the rhyming, most of that came naturally, there were only a couple I had to change the words around to make it work.

The Day You Walked Out of My Heart – by Lilfaust

Sitting at the breakfast nook

So happy about where life had took

Birds singing

Bells ringing

Trees breezing

Your smile teasing

I glanced down

Smile turned to frown

Two suitcases on the floor

One by the door

One by the fish tank

My heart sank

You caught me off guard

You showed no cards

No we can’t be friends

This is the end

It hurts so bad

And I’m so mad

It’s not you leaving me

It’s how you did it to me

You’re a coward

My heart is devoured

It’s a huge blow

Just go

No reprieve

Just leave

Don’t come back

No, come back

I miss you

I hate you

I’ll kill you

I love you

My heart is empty

My world fell apart

The day you walked out of my heart

The second poem is something I actually wrote for the “It’s Never Too Late To Say I’m Sorry” blog, but I didn’t put it in that day. I decided to put it in for today.

I'm sorry - by Lilfaust

I'm sorry you are no longer in my life
I'm sorry for being mad at you
I'm sorry for not being mad at you enough
I'm sorry for being too afraid to show you how I feel
I'm sorry for showing too much of how I felt

I'm sorry for not being there for you when you needed me
I'm sorry for being there when you didn't
I'm sorry for walking away
I'm sorry for not walking away enough
I'm sorry for not loving you enough
I'm sorry for loving you too much

I'm sorry for crying
I'm sorry for not crying enough
I'm sorry for standing my ground
I'm sorry for not standing my ground enough
I'm sorry for the things that I said
I'm sorry for the things that I didn't say

I'm sorry you are no longer in my life.
But mostly, I'm sorry cause I'm no longer in yours.

Have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend! Off to the GLEE concert! Whoo
