i shun exposure and vulnerability
i look out only for myself
with a past lost in discontent
protective of my emotions and thoughts
i will never let anyone betray me again
never to make the same mistakes
but hope with little light
maybe love will seek me out
chancing the differences
never to walk the same path
still lingering in my mind for more
to remind me of what i will never become
*
Cherry tegan is
Heart whole with
Enduring strength and
Resounding happiness a
Rambunxious gypsy with a
Youthful soul

Oh very cool! Thank so much for this!! First, the resentful Boomer... wow! You really managed to capture his entire personality there... I am impressed! You used so much emotion and... well as you said... resentment to echo the glory that is him!
I adore your acrostic. That gypsy bit made me laugh because I never actually considered that but come to think of it she is a bit like a gypsy isn't she! Well thank you so much for your entry I really loved it. Good luck. This is going to be soooo hard.
