[hometext] => growing up with overprotective parents, sometimes you just want to break free and you tend to grow up more quickly . . .
[bodytext] => The fur of the old stuffed bear was once soft, now it is rough and bumpy. The years have gone by and it seems very quickly. Rocking my way out of the cradle. Finally free at last, but locked now in the clasps of imperfection and labels. A child’s innocence, as soft and friendly as a teddy bear but gets broken and torn with tears of sorrow, anger, and joy. This teddy, this toy, is the last mark of my innocence. You can try to fix me up with homemade patches. You can try to hide me in a toy box, so the world will not harm me. You can try to pretend you don’t see that I am no more the soft and velvety teddy I once was but a bear that has been through the world and has had much experience. You can live in your perfect world but it will not change the way I live mine. One day you will look at the shelf and see that the teddy is gone, along with it my innocence. No more rough, bumpy fur and no teddy bear. I’m gone. My childhood innocence has said so long.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
