Journal pages and a poem

In high school and college I loved poetry...even writing a few poems of my own. I typed them and kept them tucked away...for fear others might laugh at my attempts to write what I felt so deeply. Now many years later they transport me back to my youth ...to the beginning of what was to come. I'm sharing the one below.

one me says come out

be free, young, foolish

the other me says no

silly girl

be sweet, safe, sensible

I say merge you two

that's the real me.
