Should all be clarified….. #Poetry

Should all be clarified …by Jane Aguiar

Jane Aguiar's avatarLiterature World

Even standing
in front
of the mirror,
I reflect behind me.
Should this be called life?

My school closed
and I got bored
at home.
All the scams outside.
Is this life?

Why the scam
of others
in my life?

Vague reflections,
vague existence
and vague life
should all be clarified.

The image shows two skeleton’s hands reaching towards a digital device enveloped in purple-pink haze.

fingers slipping
joints clicking
every moment counts
digits creaking
thoughts fading
time is running out
no more posting
no more scrolling
you can’t WhatsApp me now
battery’s dying
signal’s failing

The teenager downloaded an investment app.  His father quipped, “It’s a sureshot recipe for disaster.” “But I have saved some money.” “I wish you all the best, but who embarks a plane without knowing the destination.” https://sammiscribbles.wordpress.com/2022/02/19/weekend-writing-prompt-249-recipe/

➰➰➰

Standing silently 
He stares at his reflection
Raises his arms above his head
Turn his hands this way and that
Assuring himself that it was indeed only his reflection
He drops to the floor sitting cross-legged
Quietly he starts to tell his story
The whispers interspersed with soft giggles
After a while he says a silent goodbye
And moves away from his reflection, another him
Being an only child, he chose himself as his friend

Child

Child …. by Mich

michnavs's avatarmichnavs

A child who has experienced complex trauma will have difficulty identifying, expressing, and managing emotions.

Child

i am a child of lies
and compromises
of insults
and agonizing cries
of concealed truths
and broken promises

i am a sole witness
to how a once supposed
great love story
turned into
a disgusting
and spiteful relationship

Changeling

By Ami (Gypsie) Offenbacher

They keep asking me as if somehow, I can just look in the mirror and know. Am I a boy or a am I a girl? I do not know.I

The that appeal to me. Keep your trucks and GI Joe’s, it’s to the theatre I want to go.

Yet standing here so gaunt and thin, wishing for things that have never been discussed out loud or in private company. What I would do for all the jewels and wealth in the world, I would give it all up for a small bit of money.

Cash to pay the surgeons bill, who’d change this boy into a girl.
