Today, I feel like
I'm bursting.
I don't know with what.
It might be joy,
but that is unlikely.
I don't think it's laughter,
my sense of humor
has been on vacation of late.
It could be excitement,
after all
I'm throwing a big event
on Monday.
It's probably with food,
I gorged myself all month.
But I can't be sure.
Bursting with...
The choices sound so
positive.
But doesn't it really mean
that I'm being torn
apart?
how did i miss this one?
ReplyDeletetaylor, i feel like this poem has been my life for the past year or so. the voice behind these words are much more forthcoming than the words themselves. so i think you should change "it's probably with food" to "it could be the food." "probably" sounds too definite, even with the line "But I can't be sure" following it.
i especially love the voice in this stanza:
It could be excitement,
after all
I'm throwing a big event
on Monday.
