Poetry

So I have not blogged since April, and a dear friend reminded me of this today. So I dedided to post some poetry, as it's National Poetry week here in Australia, and also instead of blogging I've been writing poetry madly and passionately.

Listen

Can you hear my soul

rip rip ripping,

tearing out the seams

as I squeeze it into

skinny jeans two

sizes too small?


The superwoman lie:

making everyone happy,

sucking it up,

holding it all in.


God, the pressure.

Too much

of myself,

containment 

commitment

failure.


I breathe out.

And my world

explodes.
