Needy Child

by ANM - Pisces

Constantly I try to make sense of my world--
And always by looking at others.
Confusion a demon yet often a hope
That broadens my mind...widens my scope
Often times only to bring about pain
Contradicting the peace I had hoped to gain
Learning not so much about "myself"...my needs
But that indulgence, will always plant the seeds
Of a weed, or a poison I had not intended
Of a voice or a creed not meant to be sended
And always I look sometimes inward or out
Sometimes happy or sad I know nothing about
Because if I knew all I'd be bored half to death
Yet then knowing not much I would lose my breath
One day up one day down my head spinning around
Simply trying to find some hallowed ground
Not too this not too that as I tend to my mat
Waking up every day without a true say I have sat
Only to figure that I am no bigger than that
That of a mention that of an intention...
A brat!

Reason for writing:

    Just thoughts.
