Wrapped in societies sheild of lies
Tears flow from ordinary eyes,
Eyes liquid I wish they would
desolve and creep with jellylike slowness
down my mared face
I don't want to see
or judge by sight like those who surround me
I want to like what I like
not what society has selected as a standard
pined up posters branded, brainwashed
The inside of my mind vandalized
with images of what lifes suposed to be like
but will never be right for this girl
I want people to be open minded of
me, them, they, and we
Don't let the veil of unreal be pulled
over your own thoughts
I want to thrive and be happy or sad
at what ever moment without out being
branded manic depressive
Mind [edited by moderator] with or without medication
I want to be that quivering body emerging
reluctant for a moment
Spreading wings, living for three days
Floating over where ever God takes this soul
Tasting the sweet things,
licking salt from the sweating
Being accepted for the unique things that mark me
scar me, beautify the fiber of me
Accepting life with out worrying about things
I have no control over
And dying gracefully in the end,
unchanged still the same Angela
when I emerge into the place,
where my grandparents are waiting


I saw an angel in the marble and carved until i set it free
Michaelangelo

(smiles) Oh Angela, this is a marvelous bittersweet debut, sweet friend, we each have a shadow to us all but we can all soar like butterflies, that is for sure, obscurity is what gives way to fluidity! Welcome to Passions, sweet Angela, may you be inspired by all of us here as we will all be inspired by your lovely words! I can't wait to read more of your lovely words, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Angela, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Beautiful plea for acceptance.
Welcome to Passions, Angela. Having some members of my family with this condition, I can relate to this write. Hang in there, and spread your wings freely, however far they go and whatever color they may be.
Obsidian is beautiful.
