Generic Brand

Libellule

Funny how I never do understand
how I am just... a generic brand—
nothing special here to see
when I again reveal the real me.

Just a poet with a true poem,
condemned to simply roam
across a vast blizzarded page
in a quest for some forgotten age.

In the hope that someone will read
my endless, ever-pathetic feed,
wept words in a delible ink,
disregarded once more in a blink.

Tossed over another cold shoulder,
now that I am so much older
than I ever then dared to be
in this wildfire life meant to free.

As I ignited every single spark
in pursuit of some trademark—
something to make me stand out,
drive away all of this dark doubt.

    Generic no. Although the feelings you share may be held by many of us the words you bleed upon the page are yours and yours alone. As I read your poems they brighten, inspire and cheer the day. A medicine that works as well as any that comes from a brand name. Well written

    Your fearfully and wonderfully made, with a good flow...
