Life Accountable

You decide...

Absence of presence is unaccountable:
That is right here, right now;
I need to stay away,
Because I'm just going to Yell It...
..............at you.
I'm gonna be pissed off.
At you.
I'm not going to be able to stop.
I want to, but I Can't.
The transgressions run too deep,
All I do is lose sleep.
Say what you will, blame me, manipulate, be what you are.. I am not that! When can you hear?
Babies, kids, responsibilities and excuses... Sow and show respect whether you want to or not...
Do not point fingers.
Drama: we all do it, we all try not too, and show by example, and still remain our old selves, please renew, start again... The Sun will rise and we can begin.
Use your spoon, eat your carrots... Good job! Try again, want me to help you?
I will. I can.
I am you. The light. Hmmm.
Us. See?
So tell me what you think? What I said, how you feel...
Blah, blah, blah...
Hopefully it's not just about school, or work, or church...
Remember who you are!
Don't make other people's stuff up to be your own.. Live, be honest, show nothing short... What else? Your fine. Your perfect. Your loved.

I agree.
"Remember who you are!
Don't make other people's stuff up to be your own.. Live, be honest, show nothing short... What else? Your fine. Your perfect. Your loved."
I tell the kids. All actions good and bad. We decide our journey. Pick a good one. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

absolutely loved the conversational style of this poem, it was almost a rant, but it worked so very well.. and then you simply slam dunked it with those last lines...perfect ending.. curtsy bow

A very nice piece Todd.... definitely a lot of passion behind the words in this poem. Good work!

Todd, The way this is written, it starts fast and is fast paced throughout. It's very much like an exclamation, a pronouncement, a manifesto. Very commanding and authoritative. They your last line, "You're loved." Message received, a very powerful yet tender piece. Very nicely done. take care...dan

Thanks Dan, this is a raw write... a deep poem and also a surface rant... I tried to capture moments and memories with this artistic expression.

[dan]

Well, you got that moment capturing pretty well covered, Todd. Artistic expression is the name of the game. It's fun to read a good writer becoming great. take care...dan

I love to read and write poetry myself and I wanted to say that I loved this poem. I can really feel the drama part of it with your writing.
