Poem 74 of 365 / Up in my room

Up In My Room


Slender spaces of comfort
Holds me too close to the image I am
Impatient time comes no closer
And I am stuck by myself again, and again
And again.

Footsteps of what use to be mercy
Crying over the puddles of what
Some already know

With a big smile of the southern way I differ
I realize I can only hold what is mine in my hand
And this becomes the uplift of what I need to understand.

Up in my room, laughter comforts me
Up in my room, I share my space with me and my own
Up in my room, I am bitter

Because I am up in this room
ALONE.
