    poor

    i grew up poor and doing whatever to survive , like so many lost inside. 
    you couldnt tell by seeing me that i grew up without sometimes, wondering where id find me.  
     thinking away the days till the end.  thinking the pain and poverty would never end.  one day it did but not soon enough.   not soon enough , to end to not begin this everlasting pain and dread, that drags on everyday and never goes away but instead chooses to stay.

    I too know the pain that poverty produces. The fear that it provokes in me to this day, even though I am far from it. That constant dread of another day filled with nothing and less than nothing, of waking up hungry and going to sleep with more of the same, of being soooo damn tired of seeing people who don't even appreciate nor deserve it recieving so fucking much more than just being alive. That is what poverty is: Just being alive. Not one bit more. I know POOR. Good write.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
