A collection of my autobiographical poems

Restrictions: None
Dirty Laundry
Failure to learn
from my mistakes
(over and over).
Rinse and repeat.

Contagious blame
that lingers,
a cloud of smudge
cloaking the natural glow
of optimism.

Just when the stain is
scrubbed away
(clean),
a lapse,
and I start all over.
