I am a creator
I wonder if there is really a black hole deep in space
I hear silent cat paws
I see my eyes start to close
I want to be on a fluffy white cloud hoovering over my ancient castle
I am a creator

I pretend I'm looking in a mouse hole and discovering a different world
I feel the blood start to rush to my head while I hand upside down
I touch my silk summer dress
I worry that before I do anything that I will suddenly die
I cry out whining words to make myself feel better
I am a creator

I understand I'll never be anyone else
I say, "Let's stop worrying."
I dream of dancing on the seashore with shells dangling on my ears
I try to be someone everyone likes, but always seem to fail
I hope to one day have figured ME out for...
I am a creator

Challenge well met. Thankyou for taking me up on it.

I like this a lot.

I awake to a world I don't want. There is no transition for me. I am in heaven. I am in hell.

This is wonderful Joy. You sound like a fun and delightful person. Last stanza, fourth line - you can't please everyone. Never try to be who you aren't, be true to who you are and you will be happy no matter what. Enjoyed this very much!

I think I'm finaly learning from my mistakes. Can't make people happy unless they want to be themselves. Just have to be myself. But it's easier said than done. I'm glad you liked this! I had fun writing it.
