Once upon a time I Cried in agony As the mornings solemn tune Reminded me. When I hid as a child I mostly hid from the Monsters Under my bed. How can I Ever become a better version of myself? By looking at my past mistakes And learning something new. Part of the world is gone And another part is cruel And I belong To the unexplored oceans blue In a rush My heart is always telling me To act, to yell To be alive with every cell. If I saw it, I would know it Since it always lingers In my mind Most of the time I demand attention from my chosen family Because I want them to know That they're what makes me happy. An upside down tree Showing that I'm in Wonderland. Like the singer who said, "Sometimes it's just plain stupid to get into any kind of wind." He must have known That wind will blow And shape something new. In this world, I'm not sure why, But I have a suspicion I'm not alone.
