Whimsical Woman

From a Collection of Poetry

The whimsical woman was hard to control

From the day she was born her mind was her own

Though shadows and darkness lingered near

She ignored the signs and feelings of fear

Off into the world with her twisted view

Wondering, not seeing, why are Morals askew?

Allowing emptiness to fill her head

Letting imagination heal hate instead

Family questioned beliefs and morals

Whimsical notions no longer durable

Prejudice and Hatred caused bridges to burn

And from necessity fear was born.

As her eyes finally forced her to see

Lying, cheating, brutality

Her character was strong but now she doubted

Imagination died and love was clouded

Her light and passion began to fade

Like a sun that would not rise again

She joined in on the abuse of her mind

Too proud to watch others destroy it in time

“I cannot unknow the things I’ve seen

How can I live in a world so unclean?”

Her soul listened and told her inside

“It is your mind that has chosen to hide,

You claim to be proud but you cannot defeat

Ideas that devour inspiration, epiphany

Scared and alone is the way you will stay

Until you stop believing love is in your way.”
