From 16 Year Old Me

Cleaning out boxes in the garage can be a good thing. Good when you come across a poem that you clearly remember once writing, ever so long ago. The irony of it is that I think I could write these words again today about 35 years later

Alone, feeling cold
Needing to be warm again

Sad, feeling down
Needing to be up again

Scared, feeling lost
Needing to be secure again

Misfit, feeling empty
Needing to be whole again

I am lifeless,
Needing to be born again

Kinda dark in a way, but I think at that age, we all go through a phase. Me? I just wrote it out lol!

No, Laine…it was just the only way I could express myself. I guess even waaaaay back then. But thank you, my spirits are grateful for the lift you just gave me. Much needed ❤ ❤ ❤

Maybe just always my way to “talk”. Funny I realize that mostly now. But thank you, Peter, that was too kind. I hope you have been well. I hope to get back as I had promised myself over a month ago.

Hi Heather
I didn’t keep any of my writing, not very good just spill anger on page. Your words are how I’ve felt last couple of weeks. Please email me, we can help each other. msandorm@verizon.net

Quite advanced for a 16 year old. None the less it’s quite moving, I just want to put my arms around her and tell her things will be ok. Beautiful write, well done poetess.
