Ok, so this is my very first post. I don't know what I'm doing trying this but I was compelled to try it since I've had the account for over a year. So what does a 59 year old none working grandma have to say that will matter to anyone other than herself? Probably not much, and still I try! That is part of the 2 sides of me. I used the term '2 sides' but in reality there are most likely many more. The 2 I refer to are the most dominate and the most opposing of each other. Besides I had to name it something and that is what came out of this vegetating mind. Also, I was told by someone that I truly respect that I needed to post my poetry were more than a few people can read it. I can't post any yet cause I haven't figured this place out; it will take me a while. Or maybe I will write a little and then post a poem that I think might convey what I am feeling or one that I just happen to like...So here goes:
Two Sides Of Me
Maybe living is really worth the pain
And confusion that we live through each year
Still I am surprised at this conclusion
Cause for death I have cried most of my tears
The confusion of seeing what’s needed
And the lack of ability to do
Seems to torture my mind too frequently
Leaving the optimist feeling too blue
My pessimist side has been in control
For so long it’s hard to remember when
The optimist had a chance to be free
To ignite her fire and let hope begin
Even now there is a constant battle
Over who will be the one in control
The pessimist is really my fighter
But the optimist manages my soul
It has taken that fighter to survive
She was needed to forge the many walls
Yet time has left me needing those walls less
And now around me I can see them fall
Is it possible they both have a place
Within the mayhem that I call my life
And that perfect balance is not needed
When all you truly want is to survive

Well my friend, you started with a bang, and this is perfect! I love the whole look of the place so far. Have fun with it, and I'm so very glad you decided to share with the world!
ReplyDeleteThank you...I wanted a transparent backing like yours but for some reason I haven't been able to figure it out. Also, can't figure out how to have just one post on the first page...I feel like I'm not too bright at the moment...lol
ReplyDeleteThis is a perfect place for you. Blogspot is really easy to use. This way you can post your poetry or anything else you want. I will add a link to your blog on mine.
ReplyDeleteMine isn't transparent. It's just white text on a black background. If you want to feature that first post, put it under you blog name instead of as a post.Let me look at the dashboard and I'll email you on how it's done.
ReplyDeleteKathy, thank you. I'm sure that it isn't hard, it's just that my mind hasn't been keeping up with things that well lately. Thank you for the plug...Once I figure out how it is done I will put your link here too.
ReplyDeleteQR...I realized that was how it was after I noticed the way the different pictures look once they are posted. I just didn't like how mine looked as big spots of white...lol I have the instructions in my email (thanks).
