“Kinda Off Center” was writen on September 21, 2016 and is from my personal poetry journal for July-September 2016, ‘Random Thoughts and What Nots.’ It’s… a little off, but truth hurts. And don’t worry… I ‘cracked’ a long time ago! Enjoy! -BB
“Kinda Off Center” by Brian Bolding
Somedays I feel
Not Quite Right
Somedays I feel
Someone turned off my night light
Somedays I feel
I’m like life’s little splinter
Somedays I feel
Kinda Off Center
Somedays I feel
Like there’s a knife sticking in my back
Somedays I feel
I’m super fragile and I might crack
Somedays I feel
I’d rather it were night
Somedays I feel
It will all be alright.

The poem ends on a happy note, and yet… only sometimes. The unstated, but not quite unwritten, last line is possibly this couplet:
Somedays I feel
It will all be smashed up
We live our lives in bits and pieces that are opposites. We are good. Or not. Happy. Or not. Writing. Or not.
How are you choosing to post these older poems? Are you reminiscing and re-reading older poetry books that you’ve written?
