All Aboard by Sue Hess Thursday, May 30, 2002 Not rated by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan I’m tired of this state that I live in I’ve had Too many drunken brawls With sober thoughts Too many wanton dreams With pure intentions I battle my demons while I pack my bags For unknown places and The whore inside me begs for salvation the angel In my head Says there is no heaven or hell Only Detroit and St Louis And their streets Aren’t paved with gold They’re cemented with blood and gore Of old policeman and the Tired bones of middle aged CPA’s tight skinned socialites In red spandex Decorate the corners Chasing the hookers Into the churches Where they watch priests watch alter boys And I wonder If there is a heaven and hell After all And if it is maybe in Portland since I only have enough for a ticket to Boise
its just my state of mind i'm tired of, this is where my life is, my family, my new granddaughter, my roots are in the south but my life is in the midwest. i'm feeling very emotional lately, everything i write is likely to influenced by that

Hi Sue, this I can totaly relate to. Remember, us artists are very in tune with the unseen world. Sometimes it just all gets too much. They say to take us away in the white coats. They need the white coats themselves..We are just very "sensitive" to everything arond us.That is why sometimes I feel the world doesn't quite understand me and I don't feel like I have ever fit in..Does this make any sense..??? Blessings and love, JoAnne

I really like this one. The only thing about it that I think needs to be changed is the formatting. I'm not a big fan of centered poetry, but that's your decision. There are some great lines in this, and I love the ending.
