Poems
Feb 2020
I am a Survivor
I am one of the shadows
growing in the dark
surviving off the grunge.
Rot and decay visits
me often, like two old
friends we have coffee
and tea every morning.
I reflect on the
coming weeks as today
fades away.
As I awaken dawn comes
walking through my door
as if invited.
I would rather live in the
sunshine cruising on
the beach barefoot in
a cotton gown that reachs
my ankles.
The sunshine likes to
bite me leaving red bruises
upon my skin. I still go walking
even though it leaves marks
and possible scares.
