#31 on to do list before I die

my first poem

squeezed from utter horror and manipulation

without sympathy

from EaLD

hours of endless worry

trying to do something

I have never done in my entire life

no...no,

Im not complaining...

A lot of people dont get the piece when I present it

thats alright though

I wrote it so that people wont understand anyway

Thus, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

THE SANDMAN

It all started when I was 10 plus 3,

I was hiding from the time way up high in a tree,

He's calling me from every nook of possibities,

To change me, body and soul without boundaries.

One night when all seem gone in a distance,

The Sandman made me a promise and told me a secret,

"You will grow up to be old and wise, with a little bit of patience..."

So, he left that night holding something so sacred.

And I sat by the window-sill, singing to all that glimmers,

I was upset and worried when the Sandman told me of his plan,

I refused to spend summer after summer,

"Oh, how I wanted to fly like Peter and Wendy to Neverland..."

The Sandman didnt come again but he wrote me a letter,

"Take a chance, dear one or you will suffer..."

I refused to move and I buried my feet in time,
Strong and still even if it is a crime.

Wrath and his friends did come my way and I was scared to approach them,

He kicked me at my heart and took out all of my honesty,

They chased me down roads of sorrow and alleys of condemn,

Exactly how Rasputin haunt and torment the Royals without pity.

I hold up my hands in defeat and fell to my knees,

"Leave me alone and I will take what time has given me..."

The Sandman slides down the ladder of hope and gave me my peace,

He wiped sand from my eyes so that the future is all I see.

If you dont know who the Sandman is, go google him

Rasputin too, from the Russian history

Peter Pan and Wendy?

The poem is mainly about not wanting to grow up

and obstructing nature's course will cause you pain and suffering (I think)
