Time With Me

Time With Me

A Poem by Barbara Walker
"

What when through my mind, when what I needed, did not coincide with another person's need. Always so sensitive to others needs, they are shocked and a wee bit peeved when I put me first. DEAL!

"
I find myself desiring,
needing, craving,
time with me.
The world
has been a cacophony
of noise and static,
drowning out
the quiet voice of wisdom
within my soul.
I need the peace,
the solitude,
for listening to what soul
already knows
and mind tries to
comprehend
and those half truths,
questions and jumbled lines,
can, thankfully(!)
come to an end.

We all need to listen to the inner self a bit

A decent poem from a person's state of mind when he's complaining but there's subject for that, I like calm screams and tangled words which seems pretty simple but keeps whole life of a person behind them. I like the easiness of the poem but feels my heart beating fast and hard to look behind them. Thanks for sharing, keep writing. :)

if were too busy, the noise makes us really tired and stress out, sometimes all we need it time for our-self, i like how you emphasis 'me'

I love how you've expressed the "ME." I think we all need an excape from time to time. I have a small pond I built many years back. Sometimes I wander off to it and sit and watch the goldfish do whatever goldfish do. The sound of the waterfall calms me, like washing away the world. Othertimes I simply excape within myself. I don't think that's too healthy though.
Have a wonderful day.

I like my "Me time". I get it between 1am to 6am. Time to think and write. I enjoyed your thoughts and I agree with your logic. Than you for sharing the excellent poem.
