Still Forgotten But Not Broken

She started walking through the woods one day
One day became one week
one week became one month
One month became one year
one year became several
Several years had pass her by before she stopped and wondered
Wondered how she got here
and how she was going to get home
she had forgotten to leave a trail
to find her way home
and she didn't really care
there she goes again
and again
without making any marks
or any sense
But she pays no attention
because she thinks it's not real any way
what does it matter one day
I can be on top of the world
the next day
I can be off in the wood again
to search for what I am looking for
but either way
she is content
and it is expected
and anticipated
why should it be any different
than before
it can't
she wouldn't know what to do
her whole fucked up world would fall
apart, as shitty as it is
it is still her world
and it is all she knows
she doesn't know
how to fit into a world
were you have two of everything
or talk about someone as if they are a part of it
she is a stranger, just passing through
and may pass by again someday
they will forget they every meet her
and won't remember her name
and she will sit and write
and learn to play their games
she will dot her eyes
and cross her tees
but then she will go and get lost through the trees
what will she do
what will she say
the same story
different day
yeah OK your cute,
OK one more day
you can stay
good bye
good looking
better put something behind that cute smile
a smile will go a mile
but self reliance
get self defiance
be more than just a cute smile in a dress
the lesson of today:
if i had to sum it up in one line or two what ever i would say it would have to be pay attention
be polite, have a cute smile, and PAY ATTENTION:
SHE STARTED WALKING THOUGH THE WOODS ONE DAY ONE DAY BECAME ONE WEEK ONE WEEK BECAME ONE MONTH ONE MONTH BECAME ONE YEAR ONE YEAR BECAME SEVERAL...HERE I GO AGAIN I WONDER WHY THOUGHT I WAS HAPPY SO WHY AM I CRYING LAUGHING OUT LOUD WATERY EYES A SMILE ALWAYS I DO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS NOT TO UNDERSTAND
Dear Heavenly Father, I'm sorry to bother
I need you now, I really do
Can you lift me up, and love me too?
Someday daddy you'll accompany me
patiently wondering when that will be
all my life and even now i remain invisible don't ask me how
I am sorry its so long, you don't have to read it in one day, take it out when you need it its really OK
I didn't have to fix it thats not what I do
I write till its stop hurting and then I'm threw
If you want to understand you can fix it how you want
I hope you understand my words, I tried to be blunt
I still don't feel better
as I sit and write this letter
but you go on ahead and I'll be fine
I don't want to come back up this time
Can you find the reason to this rhyme?
OK so what dummy, Get out
I know I am still stuck on mother goose
Go ahead, call me Dr. Seuss
I learn my lessons in Rhyme
maybe you otta try it sometime
Writing nursery rhymes are no fun so you say
but this is one game I know you will wanna play
Riddle me this:
what crawls on it's belly in the morning
walks on all fours in the afternoon
and walks upright in the black of night?
Repeat the rhyme find the reason
nows the time, tis the season
Many have met there fate trying to solve this one
Is it really worth it?
No, no it's not,
not even a little bit!

I don't believe that I have ever read a more moving poem in my entire life, and I may never again. Please say that I can put in in my book of memories to read from time to time. However my eyes are wet and I hate to cry. This is so sad as are all your poems. Why??????????????????????
This is also technically well-written. Your talent is extra-ordinary, my friend and your creative imagination is pure genius.
Here I am! You are not forgotten.. only gone. We are all still here, waiting for you to remember US!
I can only watch.. from a distance for now.. but even if closer, what can I do? It's like watching a train wreck and you are the engineer. I have been on that train. I have had the same feelings at some point in my life. I had to figure it out for myself, learn to stand on my own, before God saw fit to allow me to be part of 'two' again. This time I appreciated it more. Worked harder for it, to keep it, even when I didn't want it anymore.. for the moment.. I got past the moment. But most of all, I believed in myself first!
I believe in you, Gina. I KNOW YOU CAN! I KNOW YOU CAN! I KNOW YOU CAN! chug chug chug toot toot!
When you are ready to figure it out, let me know.
Missed you on Thanksgiving.
Love, Mom
