The Pleaser

I can't remember the last time I wrote a poem...feels good to get back to it. I wrote this one for my CRW301 Into. to Poetry class, and although it would normally take me days to complete a poem when I used to write poetry, I banged this one out in a few hours. I guess after a few years there is plenty to catch up on...

The Pleaser  

I barely catch my breath

Before running to the next

Got the same ol’ smile

In place, no space for failure

No space for error

I’m movin’, groovin’

To the beat you set for me

I’m yours entirely

Got no time to be mine,

Runnin’ through this world defined

Every day I say,

Tomorrow will be new,

Tomorrow will be different

Yet each daybreak looks the same

Will I ever have it change?
