Mindy Tells Me I'm AwesomeA Poem by Olmsted A. T.Yes it is another waltz this one is about writing though
Mindy
tells me I'm awesome of that she's quite sure
She loves my way of banter and the songs I perform She says that I'm wasting my life more with each dropped calendar page For my once thought "never going to be" - will happen one day And I need to give up the humble ghost and accept the fact That somewhere there is talent deep inside the keep where the moderate genius slept Alone for so long and now it has finally broken free and needs to be written shouted and be sung for the whole planet to see And i smile and pretend it is easy to agree But if im being honest still cant comprehend what it is she sees Words always came natural as a breath or a song The melody appealing and the chorus far too long The structure quite an awkward style and rambling of wit Shared with a deprecating smile and a slightly moderated pitch She can hear loves lost call that lies between the lines Through the maelstrom of metaphors is where the real details tend to shine That a mind that radiates brightly And never misses a beat Can keep others who're weary Glued to their seats eyes burning with exhaustion still clung to the page Like Demosthenes commanding a mental stage Speaking of heartbreak redemption and loss Of losing of lovers and losers love's lost Of fighters and dreamers they are one in the same and somehow all of them share my name I guess it is true that to some point I cant disagree because somehow these characters are a part of me manifestations of feelings I once held so dear and i carried with me trough many tough years Changing the names to fit a better tale some have grown their own stories and away they have sailed Some tend to hang around like a bad summers day while waiting for a winter that is never on its way But they're all there when i pick up a pen and to some extent i think of them as long lost friends Mindy tells me I'm awesome Of this she's quite blatantly clear And if I am starting to believe her Does that make me egotistical and weird Or accepting the fact that i have a small gift one I'd not trade - due to smiles i give © 2013 Olmsted A.
