Poetry for me

When I started writing again

By Callie HouseholderPublished 6 months ago 1 min read

My heart was full of love

That was really infatuation

My head was full of poetry

That would have damaged my reputation

I wanted words to fall from my pen

Words that would inspire

Words that would make others laugh or cry

Or ignite a passionate fire

As I sit here now

Willing words to come at all

I wonder when I began to doubt

And make myself feel so small

I want to write my heart again

Most likely it will rhyme

I want my words To Be

Just to exist in my own time.

For Fun

About the Creator

Callie Householder

I have been writing since I learned to write. I didn't believe anything I wrote was enough to share. However, I think now that even if only one person can hear me and feel they are not alone, that is enough.
