The Animal In Me

My attitude is vicious,
it bites, barks
and leaves people all scarred.
I wish it wasn’t this way.
However,
I do not trust easily
and on normal days
I am still in pain.
I struggle
to let you close to me,
I snip at your hand
the moment it reaches out.
Don’t see me.
Please ignore me.
Maybe hug me.
Offer me condolences
as I put myself back together
in this cold world.
It’s not personal,
it’s simply
the only way I’ve learned to protect me,
and keep myself
somewhat whole.
Dear Caitlin, i obviously have no other way of communicating with you. I realize that you have much going on. I wish that I could spend a little time with you. You are wise beyond your years. I despise greed and deceit-dishonesty and you are just the opposite. Your images and words always go together. I much prefer the company of women as well. Please read the book: Letters to a Young Poet by Rilke...3 books just for you abd your fierce human spirit. Paul
You certainly know how to write Caitlin. Your words go straight to the spirit with Truth.
