Integrity and
Self-respect
respect hard to keep
When one
might be doomedI’m a go-along
Bleeding heart, doormat nice girl
I’ll say that is fine
Restless restless me
Need change in scenery now
Can’t stay still. Need fun
If I had the soul
Of a lovely butterfly
Delight I would bring
He sleeps and
he dreams
Peaceful. Content.
Warm. CozyRested. Pleasant night.
Treetops sway
gently
Owls calling
to each otherMagical spring night
Clichéd we became.
Caricatures we are not.
Look. See the real us
Excited and
sad
I’m being
left for somethingThat should be better.
(for clarification: the one above was written when my friend/co-worker accepted a job elsewhere. I miss her terribly at the office.)
Cheerful, down the road we go
What will we see next?
When you
don’t have good
examples,
make your own. Foryou need them to grow.
