Blank
My head and my heart, a void.
Like the blackness of ever-expanding…
space.
Vacuous
As the distance between
you and me,
where I find I can’t breathe,
can’t function, can’t…
be.
Empty
Like my smile in response
to the third, the fourth, the millionth
question. Because I know…
you don’t mean it.
Enchanted
Now that I don’t care
about it,
don’t think about it.
Our friendship a slate that is…

As a girl I was:
Over-thinking
Over-rating
Over-analyzing
Over-critical
Over-burdened
Over-stressed
Pushed-over
Walked-over
Taken-over
As a woman, I am OVER:
-thinking
-rating
-analyzing
-criticism
-burden
-stress
-pushed
-walked
-taken
Who says I have to BE anything, anyway?
I am who I am, take it or leave it-
Or I’ll be over…
YOU.
