Poem from when I was 9

I have very mixed feelings about this poem, which I wrote when I was 9. Please enjoy, or at least humor yourself when Little Me rhymed "need" with "feed"!  - Calico Frost

Animals and Equal

There are animals everywhere.

There are animals that are helped,

And animals in need.

There are animals everywhere,

That some need feed.

Some fine,

Some hungry,

Some that are looking for new safe homes.

Some happy in the wild,

And some not.

Every animal are unique,

They really are too,

Even farm ones,

And also pets,

Even animals that aren't discovered yet.

So animals everywhere,

Do what you do,

And don’t worry too much…

Because do what you do,

Because always, always,

You are you.

  • Drowning in the unknown

    I am tormented by slight movements

    even silence is hurting me

    reality seems to be strobing

    or something like it -

    I've yet to learn how to explain these moments to others,

    even myself.

    It's not normal,

  • Anticipation

    This is the worst kind of anticipation

    this anticipation isn't just fear of what is to come

    it's laced around the edges with knowledge of how it went last time

    of how a repeat of last year is most likely inevitable.

  • Dear Musketeers,

    You two have entered my life at different times

    yet you both mean the world to me

    I dread separation -

    the battle between boredom and loneliness cancels out everything else and I miss your everyday comments on the world
