Too Young

I never learned how to braid my hair

but I  learned too young how to tie a noose

Reviews

[T.S. Ulmus]

Very impactful. To write a novel with two short lines is not an easy thing to do. A thousand details are colored in by the reader. Your words taste like those of a true poet.

[R.E. Ray]

This reads as the absence of the “innocent years,” when we skipped through life happy and anxiety free. Instead you were pushed into adulthood and all the pressures and expectations of being what others expect. A sad portrait but powerful with such brevity.

[Coyote Poetry]

Honest and direct words dear poet. Our world need to change or we will forget human kindness. Very good use of words and thoughts.

we tie that reality around our necks and it chokes us...innocence is just skipped...
Too old too soon these days with all that is going on.
I remember when we got to be kids...we actually had childhoods...but what kids see, hear and do now...
they are 50 before they are 10...

I had an eating disorder before I even knew what anorexia was. I am happy I enjoyed my childhood before age 10. It is definitely a different world we are living in now.
