"I knew who I was when I'd
called myself "Ms"
Now that I'm "Mrs."
I don't know who "I" is..."
~R.T.M.





When did my window close?
I wondered with nose pressed
firm against cold glass
watching in horror as life
continues to pass by in a blaze
of glory
where in the world was I?
baking cakes, tending scrapes
dreaming on the side
just biding my time
or so I thought

Some how I'd gotten caught
in ways I'd secretly despised~
smiley faced women at home
baking pies,  a bunch of little
crumb snatchers with dirty
shirts, hugging knees
& pulling skirts while she
patiently waits for him~
the baby-maker who can
stay slim

Where's my freakin' fairytale?
the one that will keep me from
going insane, I swear
I'm about to blow up in here
I can't breathe~
like a knocking-knee'd bachelor
on his wedding day
I need to get away
but there's just no where
to go because right here
is everything damn thing
I know

How could I have let my window
close...

Oh wow...what powerful words and emotions.
This is the story of the heart...yearning.
