"Misfits"

She was a small girl,
In need of a friend.
And they came,
Trickles of preschool kids, turned to a steady flow.
Now they're on her waiting list. 
Just to see if they're cool enough or pretty enough or easygoing enough 
For a woman not quite declared queen
Of the school playground
As she sits atop her jungle gym throne.

    when it comes true

    when my dream is found, 

    my goals reached, 

    will I be fulfilled? 

    will the future be everything I’d hoped, 

    or a letdown

    a saddening realization of truth 

  • The wanderer

    The stone wall upon which he sits is crumbling, rough and moss covered, but it is home. 
    He stares up at the migrating geese, their honks loud and clear in the crisp air. 

  • Not ready

    When the world is dark, and the stars are out 

    My mind comes alive. 

    I drown alone in my thoughts with a smile on my face, 

    And let myself get lost, 

    Because I know I’ll be found.
