poem_152_Hisako_Pack
A shy young girl
Born into a Buddhist world
Brought up to learn
To grow and unfurl
A burden she had carried
With self identity lacking
From the earliest age
She had this and kept stacking
A turning point came
She found a sense of identity
To become the abstract
And taste of such entity
From 5th to 10th grade
She developed this extreme look
But knew there was another side
Needing to live to find a sure hook
This urge was getting stronger
The yearn was growing still
The longer her search went
Persistence coaxed the will
Finally she found
What she had been seeking
And as she stood there gazing
Her eyes began a-leaking
A tear of true identity
The feel of being complete
The moment of pure happiness
That nothing could ever meet
The girl staring back at her
The poised young woman
With sex appeal and elegance
She then knew this was her summon
Inspired by: The moment I realized who I was going to be
Dedicated to: Anyone who wants a small taste of "being true to one's self"

Excellent. I'm so glad that you found yourself, it's taken me all of my 29 years to finally find myself, but I really think I've done it now.
I've known for a long time that I am a manic depressive suffering also from insomnia, addiction problems (Heroin and alcohol, that I am now thankfully free of), anorexia, and an alleged personality disorder (I can see why I've got that diagnosis along with my other ones, but I just think it sounds derogatory to call my, or anyone's, personality 'disordered', just because we have the relevant symptoms of the disorder). Anyway, where was I, oh yes, so I've known those things about myself for a very long time, but I have recently found my TRUE sexuality - I never could get any pleasure from what some have, rudely to me, called 'normal' sexual activity, but now I have discovered that I get immensely sexually aroused from experiencing physical pain I feel I have found another, this time GOOD, aspect of myself. I think we are constantly learning more about ourselves and life itself with every day that passes, and at present I am just HUGELY grateful to the discovery of my algolagnia.
I'm really sorry if I've ranted on and turned your poetry critique page into my own life story, but I'm glad to have had the option to talk about it all to someone that I know won't judge me or slate me for it.
Thank you so much for being there and listening.

Further to my first critique, I forgot to say - personally I think Hisako Pack is an AMAZING and truely inspirational young woman.
