Of A Lifetime

(why we built these walls)
You and I
not as we are
long ago in
a place so far

after the day that stained
I grew

into addiction’s grip
You blamed
me (acting out)

A Few Things

I am no other woman out there
I fly in the face of conventionality
I balk at the word, “normal”
I don’t care who’s in charge
