Editor's Choice Award
Well, I just received notification that I the "Editor's Choice Award" from poetry.com and the International Library of Poetry, which means basically I will be sent harassing emails until I buy the book and CD set they are selling that will include my poem... so I did.
The poem is one in a series of three showing my emotional evolution over the past three years where I was in a dark place and slowly coming back to the light. I think Valerie Bertanelli should play me in the Lifetime movie. Anyway, i hope you enjoy.
Turning Inward, Moving Forward?
All the sudden I went away.
I hope I come back around someday.
I haven't seen me in a real long time.
Can I get some kind of sign.
I looked around I was gone.
I feel like there must be something wrong.
'Cause it seems like I disappeared.
I am a little scared.
Something has been bothering me.
I wish I'd give me a little sign.
I have something I want to say.
Just want to tell me I'm okay.
'Cause I lost myself...
Took off without a word.
I'm sleeping through the night...I don't.
I want someone to hang out with...I don't.
I want someone to hold me tight...I can't.
I want someone to hug and kiss me...I can't.
not right now.
Is there anything I can do?
I need to hear from me
