Shove me to the ground
where I am now,
where my heart is,
where I belong.

shove me to the ground.
I won't get up
I'll stay this time.
I accept it.

Shove me to the ground.
the filthy awful ground.
I'll just wait there
until the storm passes.

This poem is much like the place I work for a living. Hard to tell when the tornado leaves who it took and who if brought to us. I try to keep out of the way of falling tree branches and spinning houses. No telling what witches are hiding in those houses. But then I have only three years left before retirement. Of course, it might not be that long. Maybe a buy out will be offered? hell of a poem cross. May I call you Cross?

Thanks for responding!  Um I guess you could call me cross... Some people call me cc or cc83, but my name is Rileigh. hmmm...  I guess I'm cross, but lately I feel more like defeated and sad.

Rileigh,

You are getting gooder and gooder, girl! ( )

I want to yell out .. don't let anyone keep you down on the ground.  Never, evah!  That's what this poem did to me.  Good job.  I am reacting to it.
