I so love music and the nature of the world,
my heart goes out to the hobo who was once a polished pearl.
Never does my mind stop except where trees are near,
A place where old souls reside as I relate to fear.
Time never stands still my mind wears me down,
I wear what I feel for the day like a new actress in town.
Be it dressy or hippie oh yes I reside within,
and often if you look close I wear a wicked grin.
My destiny was written a life lost in time,
my heart is huge but watch me for I will turn on a dime.
For within this mind lives another often in the lead,
so either love us both or please leave.
I change not for anyone unique I shall stay,
for within this life its a challenge everyday.
So many never see my wings for the darkness prevails,
yet I know they are their yet often restricted within this cell.
The whispers that drift upon the wind,
often pulls me into the dark.
A place were such horrors I take part,
Yet again with the blink of an eye the child turns to be.
and it's a time of peace I find inside of me,
The place where my wings are held such an embrace ,
and it hugs me tightly when I so need they come to play.
To protect me and help me grow each day,
within this forest they call life to find my way.
Author notes
We all wear our lives out in the open for all to see without a word spoken they feel they know me . I refuse to hear them talking for how could they know yet so aware I wear it for all to see everywhere I go . Their are no secrets for their are those about that feels your fear and your screams of horror even in the silence about . You are never alone
