[Not so] Silent Saturdays - Poetry purge

I find myself in unfamiliar territory all around. I'm trying my hand at poetry, which I haven't written since junior high school.  That was many moons ago.  And I don't normally feel this type of creativity but going out on a limb so here goes:

Unfamiliar Territory

Our reigning TV queen has a two year plan

After 2011 off the air

Many will ask, "Who will I watch, what do I do?"  They'll think, 

In unfamiliar territory, I find that I am

Throughout my life til' now job favor I had in hand

Back then, before the stroke I had a plan, early retirement  
I was flowing...

Now, day 436 no prospects, I'm worried

I can't get arrested in this town, I've asked around, 
No conjecture

In unfamiliar territory, I find that I am

I have a life to live, responsibilities

A reputation to uphold

No plan, no husband-man

I'm flowing blindly, yes it's bold

Independent from my family clan

Became ill against my will, three years and counting
Now handicapped, maybe I frighten?

In which direction do I turn; what skills can I learn?

to continue flowing...

Is there a book; where's the answer; on what page?

I'm approaching middle age.

I need answers, I am afraid!!!

Who am I to be?

I'm in my 40's are you kidding me, 
Start over?

What will be my destiny?  
From my view, for Miss 'O' it was easy

It's vital to have a plan

In this position you don't ever want be...

Now where is my identity?

In unfamiliar territory - I find that - I am


Well, it's not quite finished I'd really like to end this powerfully on a positive.  The words will come to me later I guess.  Please share your thoughts, I can use them.  Thanks for indulging me on my first attempt.  Have a great Saturday!
