In the margins

When unwanted changes occur

You'll find me in the margins
where scribbles, doodles
and red ink expletives vent
inner anger, frustration
and a modicum of "why me" self pity
that reveal the small child,
the boy who hates change,
needing constants and security to thrive...

ironic isn't it, we crave that security and constant continuity and yet we live in a world where what is constant is always in chaos and change.... how does that saying go?? something about we make plans and life just laughs at us... but one thing we do have and that is a brain and we can figure out how to deal with everything changing in our lives.... never easily though.....

this is a short, concise demand for stability poem that I enjoyed reading and empathize with so if you do find some security, please let me know so I can look as well.... ;0)

If I find it I'll drop you a line, don't hold your breath though :))
Hope you are well.
Thank you

Hey, Gee! :)
This isn't simple rhyming verse. That self pity is like a n****e. Don't dig your teeth in. Release slowly and breathe deep breaths. Haha

Hi Matt, good to see you, hope you are well. Thanks for having a read, I'm just off for another suck :))

i am not good with change either...and i write so much of my poetry in the margins as well...
the words that don't show up in the text, but between the lines.
i have that 10 year old still in me...so i relate to this so well.
thank you...

Hi Jacob I think that small child sits just below the surface of most of us.
Hope you are well. Thanks

Indeed a short and revealing piece of honest verse, exposing your self description to the scrutiny of peers and riff raff alike lol! I guess many of us have similar insecurities really but we wear masks. Nice to see another piece from you Gee. A good narrative poem.

Good morning John, thanks. Busy, busy at present :))
