The words before me
Just don't work
I look at them
And feel like a jerk
What comes so easy to others
Escapes so from me
(Even though I stare and stare)
It remains a mystery
The kids at school
Don't understand or care
That I don't see what they do
It's just not fair!
The parents' fight
" You're smart"—the teachers try
To give me feelings of self worth
But sometimes I think they lie
What's wrong with me?
Why don't I see?
What everyone else can…..
What everyone else can see?
They give my problem a name
There're millions of us out there
Fighting the same fight
Do I join them, if I dare?
The words come slow
But with each
There's a penguin on my shoulder
That doesn't say a word
He just sits up there
And listens to things he's already heard
I never can surprise him
With what I say or do
He always know what's to come
To him its never new
The penguin on my shoulder
Is dresses in black and white
Every thing I say to him
Is either wrong or right
But every day I try to say
Things witty and/or fun
Hoping to amuse him
With what I have said and done
The penguin on my shoulder
Is a critical little guy
I can't ever make him smile
Even though I try and try
His silence tell me
That I have done it wrong again
I begin to wonder
If he is really my fr
If only you were here for me
As you had been before
I'd tell you of all my fears
And hopes and dreams, and so so much more
Of how I like to take a walk
On a snowy day
Or watch the clouds troop by
In the marry month of May
And how kittens
Make me smile
Or how spiders scare me
I think they're rather vile
Or when I feel
The need to cry
Of how I've grown
I'm stronger now, by the by
Now that you have gone from me
Oh how I miss you, dear
I never thought this day would come
I'd always hoped that you be near
If only you were here with me
To help me be calm and wise
And teach me how a friend
Above doubt and fear must rise
I've
The sunlight flitters
Through the dark forest branches
Shadowing the ground
Clear cool tripping brook
Cutting through the quite forest
Adding cheerful noise
Floating birds sing
Happy sounds on the winds
To wake the forest
Scampering squirrels
Gather food for winter fall
To last 'til spring
Blooming flowers wake
To peaceful morning light's
Delicate beauty
Innocent eyed deer
Leaps through undergrowth
Frightened by sounds
Slowly the forest
Movement brings it alive
'Til sunset comes.
Am I old enough yet?
To have my word taken as fact,
Not have it scrutinized and doubted.

When I go flying
At night asleep
I visit different places
With people to meet
When I go flying
I'm not alone
I am with and without
Every one I've know
When I go flying
I take with me
A friend, a lover
A fantasy
When I go flying
The world I roam
To be explored
But never to own
When I go flying
I see and know
What wise men search for
And heroes show
When I go flying
Up in the breeze
I find hope
And with that peace
When I go flying
Everything's right
No war, No hatred
No fear of the night
When I go flying
I don't want to land
But morning comes
I again join the world of man
The feather zips through the air, and then skids across the floor, the tip temporarily resting between two claws, gripped just firmly enough to hold it. Swish, it flies, followed closely by a small silver kitten. Flick, the feather changes direction faster then the kitten can hope to. Nails scraping on the tile flour as it fights to catch up. Then up the feather flies just as the kitten reaches it, and up the kitten goes, after it. But cats weren't meant to fly so after a twist and turn, down the kitten falls, tiny paws still trying to reach the object it most desires to capture. It's energy and speed makes the little guy seem strong, invinci
