Jesus YES. ..."Come lick me clean, lover"<br /><br />Jesus YES. I get that all to well. We love those parts of others that are far more capable than ourselves and simultaneously resent and feel grateful as they consistently dip down to save us.<br /><br />What a fan-fucking-tastic poem.

i am terrified
i am all grow..."i am not afraid<br />i am terrified<br />i am all grown up<br />i am a child"<br /><br />Oh, Maggie, this poem is just purely amazing and heartbreaking. I love the verse above and I still feel that way even though I'm in my 50's. Fear has been my life partner. I like Anne Lamott's acronym for fear:<br /><br />Fuck<br />Everything<br />And<br />Run<br /><br />But you have taken your angst and transmuted it into the alchemical gold of this amazing poem. Keep writing it all out and hang in there. This, too, shall pass. Sending love, light and (((hugs))).<br /><br />"Fear is just your feelings asking for a hug." ~Joy on 'My Name is Earl'Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14786883679294446945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-972647577919000054.post-81742752188277518522010-07-12T05:36:58.921-07:002010-07-12T05:36:58.921-07:00Whew.
