Long before I stepped onto WordPress, I did a personal challenge on Tumblr.  One poem a day for an entire year.  I’ve put some of them up throughout my time here, but I think I’m going to toss up more.  The downside is that I did this challenge when I was having a terrible year, so many of them are emotionally ugly and deal with hating where my life was at the time.  I had yet to hear about Amazon Kindle publishing as a viable option.  Still, I feel like putting some of them back into the world.

If this day

Was my last day

What scar would I leave

Upon the world

Or would I fade

Into a set of photos

Collecting dust

In tear stained albums

Packed into a box






Would my stories live

Beyond my notes

Finding life

When I am gone

Or would they remain

Trapped

Within their tombs

Of lined paper and cheap binding

Crumbling on a shelf
