Are You This Way, Why Not That

Why Am I This Way, Why Not That?

My Poem in response to Lifeline’s Poetry Prompt for the first week of July 2022. My take on Insecurity

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here I sit confused and tormented
Can’t focus can’t organize
Can’t Feel Can’t Win.
Why Am I This Way, Why Not That?
Why can’t I ever
Just be on My Way
On My Game Dreaming
Come Sweet Victory
Not gripping gloom.
So, I Want to Be a Writer
I Want to Help the World
I know I can do this
I know I can fail.
I know I’ll never know
If I don’t write on soon
Revealing My Words My Thoughts
My Messages Over the Moon.
Listening for the Next Tune
Another Tangent
Another Plot
Another Boom
Why Am I This Way
Why Not That…
What, Yeah, I Know
We’re both.
So, looks like
Back to work we go.
