I Am…..

Lost in thought

dreams

slightly out of reach

gazing sightless

upon the things I wish……

time has come

let go of fairy tales

grow up

be responsible

voices crowing

deep inside

but 

whines the little girl

I do not want to let go

grow up

become boring

oh no!

Grow I did

put aside

childish fantasies

dolls a plenty

straighten the collar

romance

dead in the air…..

Time came

(with age comes wisdom

ha ha)

I realized

I knew

my dreams

more important than air

gasping

driven

starved

my creativity

reared

breaking free

from studded cell

admonishing me.

Awaken

my muse

or am I the conduit

for her? him? them?

I let fly

I let free

reign true

rule fair

I am a poet…..

I am a story teller…..

I am…..

whatever my imagination says I am.
