Vickey Alexander Biography

In the process of becoming who I really am. I feel a need to write, off and on. So here I am, sharing. The short story of my life is not important because I am at the point in my life where I define me and my past or history is just that. Now, if you must know... I am a human female, ancestry all over but proud to be black-american. I am a Mom, Daughter, Sister, Niece, Friend and Co-Worker. I am all over the map with the details of me because I am a non-conformist by nature. I believe God is all there is (that exists) and if you think about what that would really mean (literally) , then you'll understand. If not, no biggie, does not change the truth, we all find out the truth one way or another. LOL... Enjoy Life)

The Best Poem Of Vickey Alexander

To Whom It May Concern

In my after-struggle to understand myself
and figure life all out,
I've come to know that this life is mine, by design

I forgive you... for you too are stuck in your own world
with your own reason for being here, for being you.

I see the cords that still bind us flailing in the winds.
They are thin, loose and worn.
Noncommittal, with occasional tuggings from your side.

I say I love you, but out of duty
not from my heart
I lost that a long time ago as your words or actions
slowly stripped and weakened our bonds

I love, but it is a memory,
a reel I know is there
but a movie I never care to see anymore

I sit here, listening to this song
'Indifference'
I am transported back in time
to where I let it all go and became myself
It moves me to write these purging thoughts

I forgive you,
but mostly I forget you.
I am not trying to hurt your feelings,
the distance is just too great
and I do not care enough to try
even though you do

A child is meant for loving,
nurturing and treasuring
Be careful what you push away,
it (I) may never come back

I am absolved
I forgive myself
for not wanting you
for not needing you
in my life
I regret nothing, not me, not you,
not then, not now

Love is the answer, and I give it to myself
