listening to the voices
that chat through the night
disturbing my slumber
again
not inside my head though
this time external forces
deeply enjoying life
again
fun times had with friends
enjoyable moments in time
they are not my moments
again
it is not me being bitter
that times have gone by
I don't need to live them
again
I only ask for consideration
remember others are here
living lives outside yours
still
I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.
I wonder how many times this poem went through others' heads when you were younger. Is it payback or am I projecting onto you my own concerns?
