JoAnne Tucker: Life, Love, And Everything In Between

 

Please help me welcome JoAnne Tucker to my blog. JoAnne writes novels, but she also writes poetry, and today she's going to share a poem with us.  JoAnne, I appreciate your coming to my blog. I can't write poetry to save my life, and I'm perfectly awed that you can. Here's a wonderful poem from her book.

I WAS

 

I was afraid to grow up.
Afraid of life.

I worried myself to death.

It was hard to breathe.

Like a fish out of water.

Like having asthma.

High school was hell-crazy wild.

My only plan.

Just get up and go.

Cant be like mom.

She always had a plan.

Living her life without any man.
Cant think that far.

Felt out of place.

Like dust floating in space.

Scared out of my mind.

Of what I might or might not find.
Cant hack relationships.

More drama.

Why waste the time.

Still confused, but still craving knowledge.

I need to do what I want-for myself.

Even if its just me who cares.

Even if no ones there.
It was a long hard road.

To get my act together.

All bad choices, solely I sowed.

Working for nickels and dimes.

Like a newborn.

Taking one step at a time.
