Stoically me
I was once told I was the most stoic person in the room.
The event... a poetry slam.
I didn't even read that night.
I just watched silently... alone.
Funny, I took it as a compliment.
But I had to look up the word when I got home.
I've been referred to as stoic once again.
I still took it as a compliment.
I just wish it weren't so true.
So much pain has been endured in this life of mine.
And I just took it.
But these days, I can't take anymore.
I fight it, I get angry, I lash out.
I just want to be left alone to be me.
Without the judgments of others affecting.
Yes, there are lessons.
Many lessons.
Not all bad.
But I just can't take anymore pain!
I'm ready to live in love.
To smile on the inside.
To open my heart and not close it again.
I'm ready.
But I'm like a ticking time bomb.
Stoic? yeah right!
I could explode at any moment.
Love it
I love this poem Healing :) I have never been to a poetry slam. Not sure what one is.

looks like a great start, don't you hate it when something sounds so good when you start then you can't finish it when you want to?

Yeah.. That's what happens
Yeah.. That's what happens when I try to write while at work. One phone call and I lose the flow.
