Wanting...I want...same thing! lol

In My Mind

I want to escape,
I want to get away,
But in my mind,
Is the only way.
I want my own space,
I want to be set free,
But in my mind,
Is where I can be.
I want my comforts,
I want to have a rest,
But in my mind,
Is where I have the best.
I want to call out,
I want to really scream,
But in my mind,
Is where I can dream…

Next Tag - hunger or thirst

some hunger for power

I hunger for justice

some thirst for sodas,

I thirst fo knowledge...

add thirst to hunger

often a mirage we'll see

something that is beautiful

but never will we reach....

we need to feed those hungry

we need to drench those thirsty

when those needs are meet

cause only then,

will we see the truth

that'll set us free....

(sorry, it sucks but that's what was in my head...)

TAG: pugilist or fighter

fighter

am I a fighter?
Is that the reason?
The reason that so much anger
resides in me?

is the anger at "them"?
or just for my failing
To be steady and sure
a lighthouse for "them"

Mwa speaks of justice
But knows evidence of that is so far and few
And I would gladly sidestep my share
If only it would come to you

where are the happy endings?
do they only live in storybooks?
our only revenge is the happy moments
the nanoseconds of bliss

so hold my hand-or post a hug
and let me smile at you
together we may save ourselves
or at the least,
enjoy
a
moment
or
two

next tag: pugilist or fighter or anything that is calling to be said

Inside of me
exist two or three
each fighting for
the best hold on me.

Fighting to win
the dubious prize
which one will show up
one cannot surmise.

Tugging and pulling
pushing and shoving,
creating a wind storm
to fight off the loving.

One is the babe
who lived but should not
Another the child
whose family cared naught.

Then there's the teen
full of demons and fear
This part of me
is always quite near.

The fighting continues
the grip has its hold
but one day, I hope,
them all I'll enfold.

Sue- a quickie off the top of my head... decided to jump in and put all negative thoughts about this under the table... There are no mistakes in sharing and creating...

Tag: Puzzle -- anyone??

I lay it all out, convinced I'll find

this time, the missing pieces.....

to have lived this long, tried this hard

I surely could complete it....

I hear someone chuckle...in the dark of night

It's Papa! I'm sure he is there....

it matters to me, to finish it first

before sleeping where no one cares.


The tag is Guilty.

Welcome Pearl~ I hope this is the first of many games of tag you play with us. Your words are amazing-a print out for sure.
Alffe-you and Pearl both spoke of what I feel-I feel like the oldest teenager around. I feel like I should have it figured out by now.
And then I try to remember that I do have some of the puzzle solved. I have learned:
The moment counts-friendship is the family you build for yourself-and in the words of the poster in my room, "Enjoying. Paying attention.No hurry to get on to something more important. Whatever we are doing is important, experiencing each moment along the way. Time is a gift."

OK-I am guilty of only blabbing and not doing the tag-so it is still guilty.

Guilty.
A feeling that is getting harder & harder to own
Just to please the voices in my head or my conscience,
And especially not just to please the uninformed.
Guilty.
Should be called Pre-Smart or Pre-arrival,
Because once you have arrived at this stage in the game
You know that you are not guilty, just experienced.
You are not guilty-just human.
Not guilty-just an apprentice
of life
and love
and loss
and you.

OK-I did guilty-anyone else want to tackle it?
