Once I was funny

January 22, 2004 8:12 AM from

I'm NOT funny, she tells me.
Anymore, I might add.

But she doesn't remember
when she laughed with me.
Not
against me.

Are we all so much our mothers
that we must break them
only to grow and be free?

Someday,
she'll remember,
I AM funny.
And we'll laugh, together again.

But, not now.

So, I'll hold my tongue
and be as patient,
as I can,
now.

That was sad... but I can relate to it.

Question: does your poetry stem from personal experience or is it a 'clay pot' composed of raw emotion?
