Don't waste your time or mind

Zoraida Rivera

What are you saying
I don't think you know

You're saying
this and that

It doesn't make any sense

I know, where you're coming from
I know you better then you know yourself

Don't try to lie
Don't look at me with that silly look on your face

A word, you don't have to say
so please don't waste your time or mind

That lipstick mark on your shirt
speaks for itself

Where can I start. I love to write..I received (A-) on my Journal Writing Class,.. when I went to study for my G.E.D...My poetry really started when I first wrote (Why Bother)...I wrote it for a guy that I use to date..My favorite flower is a Blue Rose..I use to roller blade in Central Park in Manhattan in New York City....I use to love swimming, I was a very good Diver..I love pretty things..I have flowers all around my bedroom..I wear ribbons on my hair..Now that I am older, I spend my time making jewelry, for fun...I write my poems.. more…
