My head was bowed,
staring into amber oblivion
My countenance was but a curtain
of gray long hair
obscured from everything
outside my own blue aura

Music, chatter, laughter
all blended into a tasteless white noise
so focused was I
on a ring of glass
that contained my evenings company
and soon
even that was diminished


I was a girl
wanting to be woman
standing amongst false prophets
eeking out existence
for a smile and a drink
maybe even a good game of pool
laughing and smiling
as if everything was just fine

But, no one seemed to see
nor care
for that woman inside

They loved the girl they saw
the one
who wanted to be
woman

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Made me smile with familiarity--I know those locked doors of other people's perceptions very well.

sigh. Miss you both, too.

I'm pouting over here. But? I'll be back...

to you both.

Somehow this poem made me think "been there

Thanks for reading us friends. This was yet another bit of an IM conversation that Susie gleaned from the general chit-chat.

Sometimes, poetry happens.
