    L. J. Underdue

    L. J. Underdue was born in New Jersey, attended Montclair High School for two years and then Tom’s River High School North until graduation, and then attended Bloomfield College for three years. Since completing a poem in first grade, L. J. Underdue found a fondness for poetry, also being a third-generation poet. Writing was also found to be a release and therapeutic—a way to express the inner thoughts and soul, letting us all affirm that we share the same human experiences and emotions.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Aug 4, 2023

      I DON’T think I’d describe myself as a perfectionist. Yes, I do push hard to get things right and I expect the same from others, but I don’t spiral if things happen to be different from what the textbook says. As I’ve grown older I’ve realised there’

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      That Thin Line

      Here’s that thin line between love and hate

      It’s that thing they talk about that leads to a heated debate

      I see as much as we love, anger can run deep

      Though I try to watch what I say and make it right before we sleep

      You should forgive, that means put it to rest

      And not bring it up again, not even in joking or in jest

      And how can you say you love me when you call me out of my name

      No, it is not only one person in this love-hate game

      You make fun of my weaknesses, you call me what I symbolize

      The life society’s against, you see nothing from my eyes

      You poke at my mentality but I desire credit for

      The good I’ve tried to do and be, I’ve become better because I opened the door

      I opened the door to let you change me

      I opened the door with my praying

      You’ve opened the door to your heart too

      Can you understand what I’m saying?

      You have made me want to be better

      You told me to get closer to God (as did my Mother)

      But you need to take your own advice

      And remember I belong to you and we love one another.
