IV - BOWS.

"i want to be good."

young and full ;

bright eyes

and broad taste.

i felt every break

flood with intent

to be "good."

to the stars, i find my solace

to the world, i find my caution.

heaven honey, teach me, Lord

on how to be "good."

i am desperate

for success ; 

i am determined

to bury shedding skin.

in this world,

i am nothing

if i am not

"just a good girl."

Reviews

[Michael Sun Bear]

Oh Emunah, this poem made me weep for you, made me weep for myself. You give words power…..

[Coyote Poetry]

Powerful dance of thoughts dear Emunah.
(in this world,
i am nothing
if i am not
"just a good girl.")
I have five grandchildren. I teach them. Never except less. Be who you want to be. Anyone who treat you as nothing. Don't deserve your attention. Powerful and worthwhile poetry. You made the reader think and ponder.
