scary @ me: the final thought.

a poem a day for National Poetry Month … Throwback poem from 12/18/2008, almost forgot about it… hope you enjoy:

 

I am afraid of nothing

lies. propaganda. fabrications.

Well, this is the exciting season finale of “Scary @ Me”, enjoy……

scary @ me©*

i wanna write a love poem
but i am afraid
what if my alliterations ain’t good enough
will i regret risking rejection
or punish myself for punking out on this poetic process.

i wanna write a love poem
but i am afraid
what if i have to change my style
you know I don’t be rhyming
and at times I’m off with my timing
is this poem worth all the climbing
out of my comfort zone?

i wanna write a love poem
but i am afraid
I don’t want to look like an oxymoron
because at times I am clearly misunderstood
and then things can get pretty ugly…

can you hand me your heart a pen?

i wanna write a love poem
but i am afraid
what if i get a preposition that i can’t refuse
in my heart
opposite my head
beside my pride
outside my control…..

i wanna write a love poem
but i am afraid
i don’t want to crash
or get caught speeding
or change lanes too fast
and have my creative license revoked

but i think
i wanna write a love blog
but i am afraid
what if no one reads it
and doesn’t subscribe to my feelings
and makes no comments
after i put my heart into it
…sigh.

**??shrug??**

Check out the entire process!
