No External Damage

Notice of absence from NinjaGirl
Hi everyone! I have been gone for a while, I don’t know if any of you all have noticed, but I apologize for not leaving a notice anyway. I will be gone for a while. I am not done writing poetry, and I have not given up. But I will be away for some time. I expect to return around 2028. Not sure if any of you guys will see this, but thank you for reading my poetry. Please do not worry, I will be okay! I look forward to returning!

Not a bone of mine has been cracked

How impressed people are when I say this fact

But have I climbed enough trees

If all I ever get is bruised knees?

 

No cavities have existed in my mouth

So nothing has ever gone south

Have I eaten enough candy

If everything is fine and dandy?

 

Have I lived 

If there's nothing to forgive?

    Some folks are never satisfied.... though I do find this a little hard to believe.... unless you are about 12....

      Ha, ha! I'm not twelve, and I am serious! No interesting stories I guess! Sprains, scrapes, and a surgery, but no cavities or broken bones!

        Amazing! Bionic woman or discovered the secret of eternal survival?

        Live life to the fullest, chew the marrow from the bone and suck it dry. Live each day as if it were the last and leave nothing on the bucket list. Better a short life full of explosive joy than a long dreary one. A most mind provoking piece.

          I agree completely, and absolutely yes to that metaphor.

          🥷… this lands in that quiet space…everything looking untouched on the surface, but raising the question of what that really means. That turn into what hasn’t happened carries weight, and it stays with you. Powerful, thoughtful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

            Thanks for reading, my uninjury is boring for the most part, but I suppose I need to use my freedom of adventure more often.
