Like At The End Of The War You don't have to love me or even look at me anymore, this is who I've become like at the end of the war I like my self-made prison, my solitary confinement, I like to cock my head and knock out my alignment I like turning my phone off and not wondering what you're doing, I like turning my back on something not worth pursuing, I like coffee at 3 in the morning, even more when storms are brewing Jimmy crack corn and I don't care, the master's gone to roam, the war is over now and lost and I am heading home. A poem begins with a lump in the throat. ~Robert Frost |

Impressive write, dear Dixie! Though I hope you love your freedom, more than a "self made prison"; girl, you are meant to soar ... Love and hugs. Margherita  |

I liked this, Dixie. I can remember a time in my life where I unplugged my phone, too. It helped me take control back.  ...jo |
