How Did I Get Here?–Day One #OctPoWriMo October 1, 2017

October 1, 2017

How did I get here?

How did I get here
crone on a phone
cursing the spell check
and feeling alone?

How did I get here
just me and the dog
brain that was sharp
now in a fog?

How did I get here?
I don’t know why
To be the one left
all the others must die

How did I get here?
I gave up the fight
I found a blank page
and started to write

    The story you tell with this poem could easily be about my husband’s relatives! Keep writing and never stop fighting! Glad you’re here for OctPoWriMo 2017!

    Almost like proofing a book manuscript on a phone on a ship for 75 cents a minute.
