I am simple I am complicated
I wonder what it is that I really want
I hear lamentations in my head
I see roses in my eyes
I want the deep burn of serenity
I am simple I am complicated

I pretend that I am the happiest I could ever be
I feel wheels turn me against the grain
I touch midnight without the moon
I worry I’ll lose my inner child
I cry to understand myself
I am simple I am complicated

I understand what goes round comes round
I say take each day as it comes
I dream that I live as my true self
I try to nudge that dream to life
I hope that this all makes sense
I am simple I am complicated

She is lovely. She can write. And I've heard my little Aussie can tear up a dance floor too.

Yep.

She's got it "going on."

I came back because of this:

I worry I’ll lose my inner child
I cry to understand myself
I am simple I am complicated


yes, *nodding head*
but this will not happen to you . . .

"I try to nudge that dream to life"

~ Keep on nudging that dream into reality! Indeed, you are both "simple and complicated" ~ and that makes for one very interesting poetess!
