Kai Love from The Pisces Life podcast just reminded me that this is National Poetry Month. There are some kids at my children's school who have been writing poetry every day, and I promised them that I would start again. Here is my poetry for the day. No filter, no stopping, just a free form poem.
I Thought
I thought
That if people saw me
For what I really was
They would shun me
Run from me
Mock me
Make me feel small
But what actually happened is
As I made myself into what others wanted me to be
I shunned me
Ran from me
Mocked me
And made myself feel small
So now I live with myself
And love myself
And ignore the outside.
