The Web Poetry Corner - Ed Hanson - I Don't Go There Anymore

I Don't Go There Anymore

by

Ed Hanson

I don’t go there anymore
too many aggshells to walk on
the sound of fear
the sound of furniture smashed against the walls
too much time spent
navigating mine fields
of the heart and the soul
It’s a wonder
I still have two legs
with feet attached

I don’t go there anymore
my self-respect
is too hard-earned
to trust another who has none
It’s too much effort
to hammer out the twisted feelings
built of misperceptions and lies
reinforced by time

The wall of prejudice turns me aside
and I have learned
too live without whatever it divides me from

It couldn’t be healthy anyway
So I don’t go there anymore
