PUZZLE AND PURPOSE

Folder: 
JOURNAL #9

I would emotionally lay tracks

to even remotely resemble

my mannerisms to yours

if I thought for even a moment

it would aid me in my quest

without looking like my intentions were forced

so very deep within myself doubt(s)

I am uncharacteristically caught

it's so hard to recall what was known

from the very beginning

from what was merely taught

with myself I constantly do battle

with demons that only wish to further understand

when then can I feel whole and or complete without

making some unjustifiable stand

am I so abnormal for wanting a man who wants me just

as I am

fat or thin

forever

am I to be

trapped

in such a joyless jam...............

How I long to be accepted just as I am. Doesn't everybody?
