Grocery Store Migraines

'I can't describe all the changes I felt the past couple years really put me through hell, But she cools me down, keeps my feet on the ground when I get too high'. -Chloe Moriondo

I'm still dealing with the migraines and stomachaches

But you're always there besides me

For my sake

No one gets me like you do

And no one's made me smile in forever

Yeah, it's been awhile since I acknowledged the moon

No one gets excited about food in the grocery store like us

Low attention span misfits, we're some sort of bust

Dirty glances and offput stances

I guess I'm just a bit of an oddity

But I never being mind being an oddity

When you're with me

And we're lucky

We get to point out the prettiest girls together

But you still look at me like no other

Under any dripping star weather

You understand my heart is locked

But you're the only one with a key

And you enjoy my poetic- standing in the middle of the road- epiphany's

And I love your fist's familiar knock.

I guess all this is to say

You love me when I'm high

When I cry

You've forgiven those lies

And past the day I die

That's one of the million reasons you're different than everyone else

But I could go on and on about the million reasons you make my heart melt. 

That'll be my next poem, I bet.

Author's Note

Ughhhh, I have so much poetry, and I'm writing more every night! Maybe I'll make daily posts if I have the time? It's like I get all these ideas and when I'm about to post a poem, it feels like such a weak, lame idea! I'm sure many others feel like that, too, so you're not alone! Have a great day and stay safe.(:

I consider myself a great poetry writer....but I love to read you.....like going through a maze....you don't know what is going to be around the corner....keep typing.... I love it!....have a great day....P.S. my poems are more structured.... yours are like a wild adventure ride 😀

[Vertigo Cat1111]

Thank you so much! Yes, my poems rarely have structure- and your right in thinking you're a great poetry writer! And thank you so much.

[Betty Hermelee]

Even a misfit can feel love and it shows in this heart-warming poem; beauty is not what attracts; it's the inner soul; and understanding of the one you love, even if that person has lots of baggage..."but I never mind being a oddity".....in sickness and in health... you write so beautifully, it just flows and the content is so human. Well done.
Best, B

How wonderful to have someone who inspires you to create wonders with words and phrases. And, of course, thoughts worth sharing thst so much so, create new thoughts in other people - like a trail of water tha';s been kissed by a tossed pebble. Being free of a hackneyed mould is such a special gift.

[Vertigo Cat1111]

Thank you so much! I appreciate your always kind reviews. They’re always such a pick me up! Have a wonderful day. (:

I meant what was left you... Enjoy the weekend.. keep safe. :)

[Fran Marie]

you have a true friend relationship
when that special someone knows
you and everything about you..you
can feel comfortable and just be
yourself even when high..the other
one gets who you truly are and where
your coming from ..sounds like you're
having a fun time even when grocery shopping..nice work here...

[Vertigo Cat1111]

Thank you so, so much! Yes, the grocery shopping aspect was pretty fun. (:

"no one gets me like you do"

If you can say that, then I think you have struck gold. That's what I call comfortable loving. Loving warts and all. Loving all the idiosyncratic aspects of our personality. Shopping for food together is great. I really like this poem, it is so upbeat.

Thank you! Yes, misfits are a blast! Thank you for the kind review, as always.

This is such a heart felt beautiful tribute to love. The way that one person accepts you, defines you, gets you, and loves you. With all your frailties and strengths. Your not afraid to be quirky nor silly. Pensive or deep in contemplative thought around them because they understand your nature. Please keep sharing your poetry with us even if you feel it's not good enough or worthy. Because art has a way of finding a home in everyone's heart eventually. And honestly I am never truly happy with anything I ever submit so I totally know how you feel. Thank you for sharing your art with us here in the community., your part of us and family so keep submitting.

[Vertigo Cat1111]

Thank you for the review, but especially thank you so much for the inspiration! What you said was so, so kind. I'm so happy to be part of such a wonderful community and I'll continue to keep sharing. Thank you and have a wonderful day. (:
