A Freak Of Nature
One nobody will ever understand
She hides from you her intellectual mind
Preferring you see her as a shallow being,
You hear her words but you don’t listen
You blindly nod your head while agreeing.
***
She’s whole worlds, as she is on her own
Alternate realities you’d only dream about,
She lives in thunderous scorching laughter
Hiding safely as she continues to freak out.
***
Each world scorches off a piece of her soul
As she scampers about in her imagination,
She befriends the outcasts, one and all
Boss of each reality as her sordid creation.
***
She rides eagles as they swoop from a high
Hangs with the herd, mates with a panther,
Her ferociousness infamous to all who feel
Leave be the questions, not like the answer.
***
She’ll hang with you awhile, then disappear
Leaving you wondering to which of her stars,
A freak of nature as she gets lost in the night
Gathering together her heartbreak and scars.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
