When I Move by Joan SerratelliWhen I move
from this house
I will not pack the ghosts
That have stayed here
to haunt me
and make me miserable
I will not be
sorry to leave
this house has
never been lucky
for me
No goodbyes
No tears
i will just walk
out of this house
with what's left
of my sanity
and never look back 02/22/2006
Author's Note: I'm moving soon. As you can tell, I am not unhappy about the move!

Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 02/23/06 at 04:50 AM Sometimes moving has to be really just moving on. I appreciate the down-to-earth honestly in this poem. |
Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 02/27/06 at 05:13 PM Well stated. I agree with the other comments, and have to add that a physical and thus mental move is sometimes necessary in making a fresh start. |
