Just A Tiny Little Seashell.

A shell upon a shingle beach,
Hiding, yet to be found,
Use sandy grains to scour your dreams,
Feet firmly on the ground,

Reality's a fact of life,
It's charred your innocence,
The harshest words and cruelest tones,
Your facial muscles, tense,

The rocks that still surround you,
They have taught you to be cold,
The waves a simple symphony,
Of doing what you're told,

Imagination processed,
Creative? Under locks,
You're scared of being different,
Thinking outside the box,

You don't believe in dreaming,
It's efficiency you preach,
Just a tiny little seashell,
Hidden on a shingle beach.

I'm clumsy, clueless, insanely shy and generally a lunatic.

I BELIEVE INTRODUCTIONS ARE IN ORDER...

My name is Linda, and I'm a human being. What that means exactly, I have no idea, apart from the obvious ten fingers, forty six chromosomes and relatively high intelligence. Or so I hope.

Living!

Sometimes the world seems big and brash, A ripping, roaring tide- Of shouts and yells and craziness, From which I want to hide.

You Are You

I wish I was a butterfly. To be able to flow with the wind , reach new heights, discover the world, even if it is meaning to be totally alone.

Starting Over...

I’m trying to find something to base my life upon, Something in this strange world that goes on and on. As the years go by and time fades away, What used to be “good days” are now filled with dismay.

Drama

Can individuals combine or must they inevitably collide. Ego, sentiment, intelligence and creativity a haven for paranoia to hide. Be true, be strong, Love thyself and step forward with pride.
