Bringing Reality Back Down Into Perspective

state the facts
the facts known to one
you,me & I
I need protection & reassurance
from those things that never happen
I sure do take my medicine
emotionally disabled
a mental cripple
functioning incompetent
a handful of rain
twilight of my life
a terminal period,after full development
always in the twilight of my time here
old before my time
skipping adolescents
missing growing to manhood
a significant consequence
my life is a movement
the part of a composition
exploring a theme
a unifying idea
of what I am supposed to be
passing the work-a-days on the street
I am just like you
I make my own work to do
my poems to protect me
oh dear,here comes the fear
no one can stop me
from feeling free
reading the information
apply my ideas
I can work like this
well into my years
a real thing
comforting the tears
independently existing
among my peers
