Reinvent Myself

Posted on November 8, 2022November 8, 2022 by Erin B.
A lost mind, locked inside
cracking with emotion.
I've tried living freely,
that's simply not me.
I can't reinvent myself.

New Era

Posted on October 15, 2022October 15, 2022 by Erin B.
Just when you thought
the story
is at an end, 
how lovely. A new era begun:
I am slowly, beginning to delight again
in living,
my heart pouring out, and
my dreams better.

Isn't it odd?
How we put off living

a happy life.

Flesh and Smile

Posted on June 27, 2022October 8, 2022 by Erin B.
The living human is cursed
hustled along
middle-aged, middle income
stomping along but alive.
Manufactured flesh and smile.
