my own motionlessness
by ALEX CHERNESKI
(monroe LA)
i am a poet writing about my pain
i am a girl recovering and trying to gain
i am your love standing here alone
i am a person that doesn't want you gone
i've felt this way before
why so insecure?
in these times of doing what i'm told
keep these feelings
no one knows
no one but you
these times i fear the most
i fear you will do what you used to...
these wounds will not heal
can't see what's really real
i am a poet writing about my pain
i am a girl recovering and trying to gain
never see me far from grace....
