I have laid down with joy and laughter; <br />I have wallowed in pity; <br />kissed evil <br />and ran away <br />from what loved me; <br /> <br />ran away from what I loved; <br />hid from <br />my own inner truths; <br />forgotten <br />too many bad times <br />and late night <br />mistakes. <br />. <br />My tears <br />fill <br />oceans <br />without names <br />and I've groveled <br />on linoleum floors; <br />made calls <br />on that porcelain phone <br />forgotten my own name. <br /> <br />My regrets are many; <br />fun times too <br />but, but but, <br /> <br />God <br />please let me out <br />of my twenties.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-twenties/
