What I Am

And for all the things that i have thought
I've only found what i am not

And of the things i have become
I would not wish on anyone

And in a place i sit alone
I mend quite well

A broken bone

I really enjoyed this piece. Its says a lot with very little words, and that is the type of writing I enjoy!

Wow, this is my favorit so far. Very thoughtful and truly poetic. I am so jealous. I may have to steal this. Just kidding, I would not do that (well I wouldn't do it and tell you).lol Very well done. Bravo! It reminds me of one I wrote once called dirty dish.

Life is just a dirty dish
And we no sooner clean our plate
Than find ourselves engaged in wish
Or dream of what we'd rather ate.

So true, that is also a very good comparison. Accepting short comings is not easy for anyone. As a self scrutinizing cynic, i know this all to well. Bowing out with some grace and picking up what you can is all you can do some times.

this is beautifully penned
simple, yet still evoking emotion

Wonderful work.
I am very glad to know that you can mend quite well
a broken bone
