I am carefree to all and any ideas
road gives many thoughts
clears the mind and restores peace
all in one day's drive
What is normal?
I have skin, eyes to see, a nose to smell, a mouth to eat, ears to hear the songs I love.
Normal but feel like extraterrestrials from above.
I yearn to travel to places I have never seen.
Will I feel normal when I go across sea?
I understand people more than most.
Because of that I observe and seem invisible like I'm a ghost.
I dress pretty normal for a lady.
Put mismatching socks slouchy hat maybe.
My eyes are big, honest, and kind.
Maybe normal isn't a thing I can find.
Unique as I am is beautiful too.
At least I'm genuine, yes it's true.
I love chasing sunsets like a gypsy.
Nature calls making me shifty.
I see through people and know their heart.
I'm sensitive not normal and accepting myself is a start.
I'm creative, an artist, a writer, a poet.
At least I am me and I know it.
Not Blinded But Open Minded
Rather than ever having been blinded,
Would really want to be open minded;
Will repent;
Am always resilient,
And together my teeth never grinded.
Jim Horn
Walk with fire, burn your soul
Burn, burn
Inhale the present, face your fears
Open-minded
Taste the desire to be left alone
Sweet, sweet
Question becomes answer
No cheek turned, shut your eyes
Closed, closed
Sweet rain, frosty sunshine
Hail raging around, down on your face
Down, down
See and feel what isn't there
Complicated lies, floating words
Walk with fire, burn your soul
Burn, burn . . .
