FEATURED POET: Juanita Funtanares





















EMOTIONS ARE THE THE LESS OF ME

There is something that's been depressing me...
lately its been stressin me...
And Im surprised Im not weak...
The sole of my shoes want to speak..
I kept the corrupt thoughts timid and meek..
Id rather melt in my thoughts than drink..
Or rehearse my plans over the bathroom sink..
Or drive around all day and think..
I swear no one knows...or atleast the world doesn't...
I get a billion thoughts a day..
well, not really, just a dozen..
The little time I have to think, I put it all away...
Work is not the time or place to rehearse a "Life Stories" play..
I'd like to tell my boss...
I'd like to tell my friend..
I'd like to tell my neighbor..
Or even my bestfriend..
Some things should just be private...
Just between us two..
My marriage isn't easy..
And my body's changing too..
What are these but things to worry me?
Where am I? why rush or hurry me?
and dig my thoughts..
They're deep, so bury me..
Im not ashamed of these questions or concerns...
Or lessons that I've never learned..
All I know is that Im in love with my way of thinking..

Im too strong to let my thoughts run free,,
There's no telling what they'll think of me..
There's so many people I wanna be..
These are just thoughts...
Emotions are emotions...
And I am me!
