Poems from Analise Atkins
Dear Perfect Stranger Who’s Trying to Help,
I’m doing the best I can with the tools I have
Just trying to make life go right
In a world...
He turned around and his smile was pain
He was strapping in his army clothes,
But I was scared of what was leaving
And what would never be...
Vivian
Emily
Sarah
The baby names fly through the house
Breaths of hope
And anxiety
The books of names start appearing
On the window ledge...
I've never been shy with boys
I treat them the way I do everyone else:
As a friend
I'm never nervous around them
I always feel at ease...
Sometimes
You give all you have to be with someone
And they don't care
Sometimes
You pour out your heart and soul to someone
And they laugh...
