So I'm kind of scared of poetry -
the poetry I write isn't always deep and full of meaning -
at least not to someone else.
I can remember
in 9th grade
receiving my paper.
All graded and returned,
the pages bloodied with red ink,
its lifeless frame limp in my hands.
My poor paper.
So vibrant and full of life
had returned from the battle
only to be buried in my writing folder...
