We Could Have Been Someone Else.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

We Could Have Been Someone Else....

Rating: 5.0


sometimes accept the fact that
we want to be someone else that part

in us which we dislike or hate, we
want it trashed, if only we

can skin it off from our bones, we
could have done so, but in so doing we hurt

each nerve, which creeps to the deepest
part of our soul, and the pain is so

excruciating and we learn this lesson
of pain, which we cannot endure and

so we just let it be, we just let it
be, like those thorns in roses, those

prickly things in cactus, those needles
in porcupines, those shattered glasses

on the road after Christmas, those
nails exposed in a broken house.
