teddy bears and gods don't often talk back

I have grown awry
I was a strange kid
Believed in withcraft
Planned for an escape

Made up stories
Drew naked bodies
Wore cat ears on my head
I talked to my teddy bear
           to my cat
           to God
None of them talked back. 

 

Now all I want is to be drunk
To be drunk with wine and to be drunk with feelings

Get into another dimension and forget this one

Why is this world not enough?

Why should I feel every feeling so hard?
Why do I have to fly so high

and a safe height is not enough?

Wow! What a survivor! We all

Wow! What a survivor! We all have a little weirdness, some of us weren't taught the art of appreciation which is simply noticing. It's funny what you start noticing when you stop to put the clues together... A great write encouraging others to self evaluate and ask the tough questions... Ultimately we are all good e nought to be here, because we are! ;) cheerSS 


Don't let any one shake your dream stars from your eyes, lest your soul Come away with them! -SS    

"Well, it's love, but not as we know it."

I wish I could have written

I wish I could have written something this precious when I was your age. You are still so young, so remember, a Teddy Bear, chunk of rock, seashells, rainwater, your own showers, and the God/Goddess of the universes, can all teach you something if you simple stand still long enough to listen. Do not think of God as "HE," for only half of the eternal will speak to you. The best description of the divine is "I Am That." Both male and female deities are within you. Put them both together like Yin/Yang; listen, listen, listen, meditate, and learn to understand that you are a representation of both spirits, (male and female) and with continued belief and practice - you will hear glorious things to inspire your poetry,

Thank you :) This is an

Thank you :) This is an interesting comment. I have to say, I am not religious anymore. But I like this idea of divine being both male and female at the same time, yet neither of them. And I will try to stand still to listen what the world has to say to me. Maybe some day I will discover something divine speak to me, maybe not.
