Today is National Poetry Day. I only know because #nationalpoetryday showed up on my newsfeed. I opened Google, no doodle? WTF Google? Anyway, one of my fellow AN Warriors posted this yesterday. I got permission to re-post, not publish. Not sure on FB if there is a difference, the internet is forever. Thank you Donna.<\/p>\n

The serious one.<\/p>\n
Mine!
\n“It’s fine,
\nit,s benign,
\ndon’t worry.” they said.
\n“For years,
\nhidden deep,
\ninside of your head.”
\n“Don’t panic!”
\n“Relax.”
\n“We’ll just wait and see.”
\nSo easy….
\nfor them.
\nNot so for me.
\nA time-bomb,
\njust ticking,
\nno warning, no clue.
\nA wolf,
\nas mutton,
\npure badness right through.
\n“GO AWAY!!!”
\n“GET OUT!!!”
\n“How DARE you lay claim?”
\nI’m me,
\nnot you.
\nYou have no name.
\nThief!
\nYou stole
\na sense so dear.
\nNow halved,
\nthe sound
\nof all I hear.
\nI’ll win!
\nJust wait…..
\nIt may take time.
\nMy brain,
\nnot yours.
\nI’ll take what’s mine!<\/p>\n
