Mama Papa God Demon
Mama said not to worry
Mama said not to fear
Papa said not to hurry
Papa said not to care
God said you are child
God said you are clay
Demon said you are wild
Demon said you are prey
Mama i am dreading
Mama i am scared
Papa i am heading
Papa i am bared
God i am reliant
God i am your dough
Demon i am defiant
Demon i am your foe
Mama said not to fear

Mama i am scared
Papa i am heading
Papa i am bared
God i am reliant
God i am your dough

It's akin to a mantra one recites as both affirmation and protection. I like it.

Very glad you like it Ahavati. It was written as an expression of where i was, am and how i see my way through it. i like your observation, there is truth to it.

I like this work. You're defying the devil or at least trying to resist temptation here I think. Nice artwork too. Don't understand these lines though: 'Papa i am heading
Papa i am bared. Where are you heading & what are you bared of, emotion for example?

It's a very personal piece as you've implied. i was hooked on cannabis for the longest time, that is the temptation i am avoiding after a few months of being off it. i am a pre hormone transgender woman and the lines papa i am heading and papa i am bared refer to starting hormone replacement treatment in a few days from now and that i am naked to the world. i put myself in God's hands, trust Him/Her/It/Them with where i'm going and defy the demons that wish to hold me back.

Where you are heading, you don't want to spell it out for the whole world to see, I guess. Well, once you are 18, no one can legally stop you fulfilling your wishes. I don't know if you have read a poem I wrote called 'Leo' but you may be interested.

Yes i do want to spell it out, i am a poet, it's what i do, poets can have no secrets, they reveal themselves through their writing whether they wish to or not. That is the price of having such an inclination. BTW 18 was long ago and i only wish i had realized who i am at that point in my life.

"Papa i am heading, Papa i am bared" still does not fully explain what you're getting at though but maybe it doesn't need to?

Re: Re. Mama Papa God Demon
i explained it the best i could. My father died a few months ago and i find myself speaking to him often, more than i did when he lived. Like i said, it's a very personal piece but it can be interpreted by readers if they choose in ways that relate to their life.
