Guess who got a new client?

ME!

Guess who worked all day and now she’s kind of tired?

ALSO ME!

Guess who ate a lunchable, one half a cupcake, and two corndogs for dinner?

I am embarrassed to say that yes, it is also me.

My brain is kind of a block of cement right now. Not much going in or out in terms of creativity.

Buttttt, way back on March 15, 2006, my brain was working just fine and I wrote the poem below.

Poem:

“I Won’t Be”

I won’t be a fairy tale.

Some times I’ll run away

And write unnecessary lines about love

And possibly about you

For an entire day,

But while you do

Whatever it is you do

While I am gone

Know that my heart never left

And my body is on the way back home.

 

I won’t be a princess.

Sometimes I throw my drawers on the floor

For a few moments

While I am in the shower

Or until the next day

When I’ll kick them to the other side of the door

But walk by them and think

Of how much I love you.

 

I won’t always be so nice.

I am fighting an internal and eternal struggle

Against pessimism and while I learn how to win

There will be some days

That I simply cannot explain

But know that no matter what

Your smile

Or an eye kiss

Or that thing you do when

You lean down at me and squint

Is all the reassurance I need

To win the battle going on inside.
