The Process

A Poem

I write my soul

To process things outside my control

Not everything felt is good

It may feel good

But some are just a welt

Even when it was pleasureful in the beginning

Sometimes the ending is just

Well, meh, in the end

Like a fox that has caught the hen

What do you do when you’ve reached the end

I suppose you pick up the pieces

And begin again

I write my soul

So the things I can’t control

Don’t take their toll

You have to open the levee

To not drown in all that is heavy

    Sometimes it’s good, sometimes bad… others just okay .. But, on those fateful times.. It’s GREAT. Now, if we could only get others to see it… Lol. Not all poems work out. I can’t even fathom the number I’ve simply deleted. So, I get this for sure. Nicely said AH
