Vintage girl
found within sepia stained pages.
Bound to a life
she was never meant to live.
Dutiful exploits
catalogued inside,
pages
curled over time,
color
seeping from the edges.
she pushes at boundaries.
Her mind,
her soul,
ready to be more than one shade
of alive.

I loved the pain seeping through this poem.

Yes, but for me, I found it to be more one of yearning to be and do more than may have been possible in her time. I especially found the last lines to be – killer – “ready to be more than one shade
of alive.” Thanks so much for viewing and commenting! Always love to see your alerts and read your comments, My Dear!!
