Somedays

December 20, 2018January 5, 2019 by Lindsay, posted in poetry

i am five different ages,
      five different lifetimes,
stuffed in a duffel bag,
zipper snagged,
waiting for a trip
that never comes.
 
i am BURSTING at my seams.

As a plant takes in water, and leaves become full, turning lush green,

   my cheeks grow pink

       from blood pumped by

          my swelling Heart.
