been a while


(My contribution for this week's Prompt and Link on "Identity")
It’s been a while….

Been a while since I thought of thee,
Your presence, your face, your identity
The way you would have reacted
To each of my daily antics!

Been a while I thought of thee
The reason u left me and flee
The day you chose to keep me here
Was that too tough on you, mother?

Now I call this place my home,
A place where people like me come,
Though all think of me as one,
I know Ma, I am no orphan

You may have loved me, given me birth
But of people there may be a dearth,
Who understood your love for me,
Not letting me have your identity

The thought of you being near
Has always given me comfort, in fear
It sometimes feels so lonely, here
Wish you would take me, sooner than ever

Then I would have a family,
People who would help me see
Amid this whole wide world of theirs,
My own little identity!

No family; no identity. I hear what you're saying.

I bow to thee...
partly because ur the circus manager and partly coz I cant compose poetry to save my life...
but this is good....

I liked this part best:

Now I call this place my home,
A place where people like me come,
Though all think of me as one...

reminds me of what my life has become...

That was seriously interesting,
you talked about your own identity, talked about your mom and your family and overall, your house...
Then I would have a family,
People who would help me see
Amid this whole wide world of theirs,
My own little identity!


awsome!!
