May I? Poem by valarie adams
May I?
-May I hang from the ceiling, mouth shut, dress high, hands tied, eyes dried?
-May I make art with metal & have it come out red?
-May I slowly stop breathing, using only my hands?
-May I swallow some candy, pass out, & drool?
-May I sleep with tears, waiting my happiness to wake me up?
-May I eat some food, then throw it up because it doesn't taste good?
Commendable work, young lady...only to be equaled by your Poet's Notes which employs a very powerful and erudite social well-being statement...Good on you & a Happy, Healthy & Creative 2 0 1 5! ~FjR~

It takes a lot to say die and mean it, takes even more to say live and do it. At first read I thought unusual things to ask permission for, a touch of dark humor perhaps and from whom is the permission being asked? Then I read the Poet's Notes, it all came together a little clearer much of what's being shared in each verse. Looking forward to read more from you.
