Comfort Blanket.
A bird was never meant to inhabit a cage. It was given wings to for a reason to spread them and fly freely dipping in and out of the clouds in the sky. That is forsaken in time as the bird accepts its situation with the fleecy attributes of a comfort blanket. Now the bird has forgotten his aerodynamic inclinations and now has no inkling to try and that’s how easy it is. To slide into circumstances, you would have never contemplated let alone live by.

Love
"....You don't know how much I love you."
If you acknowledge the fact that I don't know,
It is obvious that I cannot really appreciate it
Why don't you show me the really love.
If you acknowledge the fact that I don't know,
It is obvious that I cannot really appreciate it
Why don't you show me the really love.

Fear is GOD
Ants think grasshopper to be numen
Grasshopper thinks bird to be demiurge.
Rat think snake to be divinity
Snake think eagle to be celestial.
Fish think shark to be titan
Shark think orcas to be icon.
Lamb thinks lion to be daemon
Lion think man to be immortal.
And man think emptiness to be God
Get it now?
There's no God, only that which we fear
Grasshopper thinks bird to be demiurge.
Rat think snake to be divinity
Snake think eagle to be celestial.
Fish think shark to be titan
Shark think orcas to be icon.
Lamb thinks lion to be daemon
Lion think man to be immortal.
And man think emptiness to be God
Get it now?
There's no God, only that which we fear

*CAN YOU HEAR ME?*
```By Natasha Van Der Horst``
`
You disrespect me but expect to be respected.
You shut me down because your words are more important than mine.
I am singled out because I don’t deserve human decency.
My skin is of greater threat than the hell you give me.
The food my mother gives me is all just for you to eat.
My short limbs,
My crossed eyes,
My red hair and squeaky voice,
Has any done you any harm? ...
All credit goes her.

I hope you think of me kindly when you come for my things
I don't believe in a god,
but when I am begging for him to save me,
it is your name that falls from my lips.
but when I am begging for him to save me,
it is your name that falls from my lips.

Echoed Trill
Mommy, they're causing me strife,
My wings, they just won't come to life.
They said it's a game we'd be playing,
But now, it's tears that I'm spraying.
Mommy, where can you be?
Mommy, come set me free.
I hear your fearful trill, it's quite a chill,
To the sound of your voice, I'm flying.
Who are they, my little one?
Don't give up, the day is not done.
As fast as I can, I'm running,
I promise to help, I’m Coming.
Mommy, they are causing me pain,
The fire on my wings, it's been slain.
I tell them it's hard to...
My wings, they just won't come to life.
They said it's a game we'd be playing,
But now, it's tears that I'm spraying.
Mommy, where can you be?
Mommy, come set me free.
I hear your fearful trill, it's quite a chill,
To the sound of your voice, I'm flying.
Who are they, my little one?
Don't give up, the day is not done.
As fast as I can, I'm running,
I promise to help, I’m Coming.

The fire on my wings, it's been slain.

Her Point of View!
Tainted Heartbeat, once so vibrant
Smokey breath, that hovers over
A choked-out plea, in sincere despair
An unending stream of tears, for hope, is now lost.
Stolen innocence, undeserving of such
Heartbreaking grief, for joy now departs.
Intertwined emotions, seeds of desperation
Gut-wrenching decisions, that bear destruction.
A Haunting silence, the mind is set.
Unwilling hands, yet the soul commands
Fading world, for it is done.
A life no more, another burnt canary.
Smokey breath, that hovers over
A choked-out plea, in sincere despair
An unending stream of tears, for hope, is now lost.
Stolen innocence, undeserving of such
Heartbreaking grief, for joy now departs.
Intertwined emotions, seeds of desperation
Gut-wrenching decisions, that bear destruction.
A Haunting silence, the mind is set.
Unwilling hands, yet the soul commands
Fading world, for it is done.
A life no more, another burnt canary.

Cancer .
I realise that first lie cut deep way beyond a flesh wound. No entry or exit marks it just ricocheted from my head to my heart and stayed with a nauseous feelings of complete dismay . Cancer just walked in and I thought it’s going to take him away and I can’t do anything apart from words of encouragement and kindness and compassion and bucket loads of understanding.
You told me when I was eighteen years old in a very vulnerable situation as I had left my home and family behind after an incident that changed my life from the moment I walked out the door. Fear and loss and feeling...

Disappearance
9/30
Sunday night,
desperate for sleep,
I pushed you away
when you crawled up
and tried to sleep
between my thighs
I am old, sweet cat,
your weight obstructs
the flow of blood
I turned this way, that,
and drifted off--
Did I, perhaps, leave you offended?
You awoke at first light
demanding I open the kitty door
and off you went
all gray stealth of smoke
disappearing into the hazy day, ...

Mountain Top .
If I could weave inside and out and meet myself on the mountain of now. A deep appreciation of a moment that is breathtaking as it’s incredulous. You reached the top despite the falls heck we are just people after all. We don’t always see that all the downs will also have a peak. We guard and prepare for the worst after the seasons of snow and despair, but we forget spring will break and make up for the heart break. When you are six feet under how you can see the wonder? Like a child’s eyes when it’s sees it’s first Christmas tree or learning to walk when you are constantly trying to...

Social Anxiety
I wasn’t made for crowds
I realize tonight
I’m in a bar
With open scars
And fear that grips me tight
The lively vibe should ease my mind
Should talk and interact
Instead I’m stuck inside my head
And don’t know how to act
Topics randomly pop up
Each person makes their comment
The urge to speak takes over
Followed by the urge to vomit
I look around the table
And I smile and I nod
I start to feel I don’t fit in
And now the urge to sob
I blink away the tears that come ...
