Ask a Foolish Question

By emtwytte

Ask a foolish question
Cue mockery and scorn
Ask a foolish question
And wish that you weren’t born
Ask a foolish question
Hear the silence grow
Feel the sneering glances
And stop wanting to know
Ask a foolish question
Open yourself to pain
Ask a foolish question
Swear not to ask again
Ask a foolish question
Risk the fated burn
Ask a foolish question
If you truly want to learn

There Comes a Time in Every Life

By emtwytte

There comes a time in every life When the choices all are hard When the options all are dim and dark The chances all are slim to none When the house holds the cards. There comes a time in every life When something has to give, But even once it bends or breaks, You somehow have to live. -- Em T. Wytte

 

One of the great things about writing is poetic license. It doesn’t have to be accurate or factual like an essay. It simply has to feel real.  “There Comes a Time in Every Life” is like that.

Real to Me

By emtwytte

I write what I feel is real,
What I believe is true.
Yet I see what’s real to me,
Is not so real to you.
