: Leaving

Hello there, I'm Rachael.
For me the act of writing poetry is so many things. It's confessional, diary-keeping, hopeless speculation, problem solving, story-telling, therapy, anger management and relaxation all rolled into one convenient (and free) package. Almost everything I write is from personal experience. And because of the anonymous nature of a blog, I feel comfortable sharing things I wouldn't dream telling anyone in my everyday life. I suppose it's my outlet, my own little secret endeavour that keeps me sane and is entirely mine. I make no promises of producing 'quality' pieces of worthwhile literature. My main objective is to be honest, and hopefully you'll be able to find something you can to relate to in this jumble of words.

Thanks for visiting. Ask me questions.

Leaving

Dangling my feet,
on the edge of leaving…
Please tell me
what is left to believe in.

I sometimes feel amputated
from my home.
Banging my head on the
knowledge of things
I should have always known.

I sometimes feel very alone,
even when we are so close.
We could be made of the same living bone.

Everything is ambiguous, a profane mystery.
Recounting events that seem so long ago,
tracing mistakes on maps, engraving words into history.
Under all this filth, how could we ever grow?
How could we ever know -
That this would be our reality,
our angry, acute actuality.
