I don’t want to do things the way other people do them.
I don’t want to do things the way other people do them.
I don’t want to fit in just to be loved.
I don’t want to try to so hard to be trusted.
I don’t want to succeed at any cost to my soul.
I just want to be believed, until proven guilty.
I just want to become the me that wants to be me.
I just want to love, even if it means I get hurt.
I just want a chance to experience this life in my way.
Maybe we can find other ways of being true.
Maybe we can stop making sure we aren’t found out.
Maybe we can begin to laugh at everything even more.
Maybe even if it looks grim, we can welcome the future.
If I asked you to dance wild in the woods, would you come?
If I asked you to love me forever, would you try?
If I asked you to have tea with my muse, will you?
If I asked you to believe the impossible, would you?
I would.

I would love to be added to your list for regular messages but it doesn’t seem to happen.

Can you come to http://www.shilhsophiastudios.com?
Amazing how you know the heart of another when you don’t know the other! Of course, it’s the common woman’s heart of us all — including those treasured men who honor their feminine side. Thanks for your wisdom.

Beautiful painting, beautiful poetry – words spoken from the heart or deeper, from the knowing all soul. Words spoken with love and loaded with the honesty of true – “this is who I Am, I do not want to be made over”. Bravo, Shiloh! -I can see you dancing wild in the woods with Jonathan to the delight of the fairies, gnomes, the spirits of the trees, the squirrels, and, naturally, Sue.
Inmense love, T.
I would to, Shiloh. Thinking of you and sending you my wholehearted love.
