Leave my ears alone!

Posted by Kahdai on March 8, 2010 - 20:58
from the ABC set The deep dark lake

I always tuck my ears under my scarf,
then under my hat, then into my helmet.
I was told my brain was between my ears,
to take in what was shouted at me, that
I was useless, ill, stupid and lucky.
That the only way to get sense into me
was for to be forced in through my ears.
I've now been told, that was all lies,
I want to believe what I read now,
to believe the brain behind my eyes.
I want to believe you, who like me,
you who accept and don't degrade me,
you who cannot see or hear me.
I want to believe my brain is fine.

Can identify with this so much,

"I want to believe what I read now,
to believe the brain behind my eyes.
I want to believe you, who like me,
you who accept and don't degrade me,
you who cannot see or hear me."

Like the honesty in this Kahdai, the ears are a nice touch,:~}

Thank you shoe, I wasn't sure anyone would understand it, I'm kindof glad you do, although also sorry for you. I am very protective of my ears now. =) K x

I too love the honesty in this piece, Kahdai. Also love the repetition of 'I was' and 'I want' - it works really well ;)

It started off an angry poem, all about me, then I thought of all the other people, who accept my problems :) xxx
