parentheses
Lenamarie Clark 1981 (Indianapolis,Indiana)
parentheses"
I really want to live but some days, I just can't give.
The stage is calling my name. I got this game.
Life is a hurdle for me to climb over
when days like ptsd knock me down, I just need a hand to hold me down someone who understands.
I just want someone to hold me like parentheses, just like my dear mama
About this poem
