Personified poems

I can't believe that a year has passed since I stood at a bus stop, waiting and waiting and writing.

Carry On

k

All that I see goes
In the bags under my eyes
They are for storage

Humor

Your sense of humor

Will drop by and save your life

If you let her in

Self Reliance

On self reliance

You can surely/always count

If you can own it

Sad Pity

Self pity remains

the saddest of all the pities

standing so alone

Impatience

Extreme impatience

Loves to drive you to your grave

Going way too fast

Pity

Pity; enemy
Though he poses as a friend
The friend is kindness
Whom pity pushes aside
So you stay just where you are

Insecurity

Prompts us to show what we know

When it's not our turn

When someone else has the stage

And it makes us look foolish

Tiredness and Anger

Tiredness, like her

Cousin Anger

can be your friend

if you will just listen

to what she is saying

Hunger and Boredom

Hunger

and her brother

Boredom

come by

to point out

holes in our insides.
