@tonys Thank you my Huckleberry friend. Wherever you are.
Makes the smile everytime I read this.
You are sorely missed by many.
I hope you and the Bookkeeper are well and happy.
Hugs G

curled up in a little ball
letting tears flow
clinging to my teddy bear
the lonely darkness so
nobody here who understands
nobody to hold me close
nobody to wipe my tears away
or heal a heart that hurts
feeling every single piece of loss
the grief one carries through
every single child
their futures gone too
the heavy weight of heartache
the boulder of despair
the shadow in the darkest night
to feel they keep me here
they say that I'm too sad
it's a miracle when I'm happy
tell me to move forward
you try to hold the weight
"get a job already"
my job is getting up
"where the heck's your family"
hopefully far from here
"it can't be that bad"
why don't you go meet them
"you're making it all up"
do you see these scars?
"it can't really be that many"
no I'm sure it's many more
"you're too complicated"
another giving up
"why are you not married?"
"have kids or family"
my heart has not been ready
who are you to judge me
I may not be who you expect
I may not be your type
but I am at last myself
now please shut up alright

@avant-garde your words are beyond phenomenal. I'm monumentally impressed (and completely unsurprised) by your talent for poetical words.
Thank you for sharing, this really moved me 🙌💜

I get sick of all the judgement
of who my friends should be
what stores I should visit
the places I shouldn't see
I get angry at the prejudice
that we're better than them
for all have sinned and fallen short
every human being
I like to think what Christ would say
if he walked this earth today
who would his disciples be?
who would answer "follow me"
who would he reach out to?
who would be zacchaeus?
who would Christ have dinner with?
who would then be saved?
what would Christ say to us?
the ones who preach it from the rooftops
but don't meet them in the streets
to help them to their feet
why would they listen
if all we do is lecture
tell them they're doing it wrong
that there's only two genders
I'm not saying I don't believe that
I'm asking what would Jesus do?
would he scream it from the pulpit
or be a brother to you?
yes I have my friends
yes they're mixed genders
yes they feel different
yes they know my views
no I don't agree
but yes I do accept
they'll ask me if they want to
we're still friends none the less
they still matter to me
Christ died for us all
my heart isn't to lecture
it's to show God's love and more
