Ludicrous Limerick: Concerning the Absurdities of Life
A human can do so many things,
But why, oh why, do they have no wings?
If I did, I would fly up so high,
Reach out a hand and touch the sky;
And twirl amongst the stars as they sing.

I’ve had so many names in this life I lose track of which ones were ever really mine and which ones I wore because someone needed me to. Some were handed to me before I had words to refuse them, before I knew what they meant, before I knew I could say no. Most weren’t meant to hurt. That doesn’t mean they didn’t leave marks. Marks that told me who I belong to, who I am by way of who claims me, recognizes me in the good and bad, who walks beside me.

Lovely!!!💖💖💕
Crazy how relatable this is - love it!
Reminds me of a bird trapped in a cage metaphor. Nicely done.
This is so wistfully sweet.
I feel the same way! Terrific poem!
