Up The Staircase Of My Life Poem by Val Brooklyn Rogers

Walking up the stair case of my life
I've had to fight all along.
It skips my mind time and time again
I've found my lonely heart CHASING
The WIND.

YET YES I was there and there making
Solid promises to you I kept
Step by step
Every hallow space I felt I had to fill
Walking up the staircase of my life I
Was on trial
More and more I was exiled

The times I've faught the tears, never
Found a smile.
There, I've reached the top, I'm home.
Not only glancing back with key in
Hand but recalling one solitary
Teardrop at a time

I know you heard me repeat line and
Line, yeah I'm fine.
You're not blind, I've got my pride.
You see, it's no ordinary thing.
I must have the ambition of KINGS.

Its my right to reveal what I feel.
I'm happening now. I have changed
My tune I need room to roam.
You had me wrapped around the pole,
But baby, I've found GOLD!

A STITCH A SEAM
The fabric GLEAMING.
SPECIALNESS in my life. I think I'm
Happy now.
First time in years
This instant...
I SMILE.
