D-Xirable Poem!!! (2.11.2021)

 Hello loves,

If you know me, I write poetry. I write all of the time. I just don’t normally post it. I used to but after I lost my  childhood friend Tabitha, I didn’t have the heart to post them anymore. In fact, the last one you will really see posted on this blog is the one that I wrote for her funeral... I tried to post a couple after that on my poetry blog and Wattpad but I couldn’t...

Writing poetry is a form of self-care for me. 

And I think it’s time I post one... 

I have some stuff to release...

“The Load I Carry”

2.11.2021

The load I carry,

Is actually quite heavy.

I’m trying to be strong —

I’m trying to be rock steady.

I’m tired though,

But I still carry it.

Finding love in it all,

Makes it kind of scary.

Can they help with the load?

Or will it break them too?

I didn’t mean to ignore them—

It’s just a lot I’m going through.

Do I let them in?

Do I let them know?

That I’ve been hurt in the past—

But I’m trying to let it go.

If I were more straightforward 

I’d say it out loud

I have feelings for you 

I like you but I fear being lost in the crowd

I fell in love with the music

But I was trying to get to know ya

I may have hurt you now/shut you out

But I’m trying to show you...

I’ve shown my cards

I’ve dealt my hand

Either you will or you won’t

Understand

I like to laugh and joke

All of the time...

I like, how are you doing

And are you going to be fine?

I like someone direct,

Tell me what you know

I love movies too —

And what’s your favorite show?

I’m really simple

But my moods are complex

I guess you know now

The question is, what happens next?

“Heavy Load”

Hope you enjoy the poem!

With love,

LaTasha B.
