Born a little earlier
than doctors might have wished
I fought for life inside a box
without a hug or kiss
my parents stared through tempered glass
and wondered what to do
but every time they took me out
I started turning blue
I'd left in such a hurry
on my way to planet earth
I almost killed my mother
and myself during the birth.
But I was born a fighter
and my parents didn't know
what the future held for them
until they brought me home
I screamed and cried for hours
and the stress was very rough
coddled by my mother
when my dad had had enough
"Let her cry" he told my mom
it helps to build their lungs
but someday he would eat those words
for I grew quite a tongue
and as a teen I sharpened it
into a pointy end
Now, they WISHED they had a box
that they could put me in.
Just as luck would have it
I was blessed with lots of kids
who make me stop and take a look
at all the things I did
but only for a moment
cause my depth is rather fleeting
"A Flaw Within My Make Up"
long before my heart was beating
Never one for piety
high tempered, vain and squirrelly
perhaps it wasn't I who chose
to send me down here early
For just like every child of God,
I came here trailing traits
What else can I say? There's nothing
clean about this slate
and so I thank the incubating
Savior and His plan
For premature and immature
are part of who I am
Please tell me what you think

AllStar Poet and Artist
I have never visited any of your creations without being in awe at your talent. No rough edges and artistic perfection that flows down the page or speaks thousands of words in captured images. 
Beautiful poet, beautiful artist, beautiful person.

what a beautiful insight into who you are. Deep. enduring.
On a lighter note, when I was young, my mother always said, "Oh, I hope you get one just like you." I did. She loved it. -
A Wonderous Riot!
You know what? It's best not to linger or look too long at this life anyways.It can bend the mind! Are you also an Aquarius? That in it's self would effect that way.Except the loud mouth part. That's my domain.Remember? Scorpio.With both parents Scorpio.Volatile household.

Nope, my astro make up is Leo sun, Libra Moon, and Sag ascendant, but my Dad was an Aquarius and I think it's safe to say that HIS mind was a little bent. Love
