Thread: The Elephant Woman

A Poem, Thought, Open Reflection...



Once upon a time
There was a beautiful young girl
And the girl was practically a slave
But no one knew
None would ever listen nor believe
For the constant sprouts of fantasy were killed with a sword
But what no one knew
Was that the Goblin King fell in love with her
And gave her certain powers
So one night
When many had been very cruel to her
She asked the Goblins for help
She knew they were strangers, but she had no one else
The girl knew the King Of The Goblins
Would keep her heart and soul in his castle forever and ever
And eventually turn her into a goblin
So she suffered in silence
Until one night
When she grew tired of breathing the air of this unchosen galaxy
And hurt by the harsh words of those around her
She began to slowly slip and drift away
Far far away

I must say the words
No, I musn't
I musn't say
I wish
I hope
What hope is there in a wish to the unknown
I can bear it no longer
Goblin King! Goblin King!
Wherever you may be
Take this spirit of mine far from here

I wish I did know what to say
To make the goblins take me away
I wish the goblins would come

It's only forever
Not long at all
Lost and lonely
No one can blame you
For walking away
But too much rejection
No love injection
Gone to hide away inside the guilded cage

Don't tell me truth doesn't hurt little girl
Because it hurts like hell
But I hear down in the underground
You'll find someone true
Down in the underground
A land serene
A crystal moon

It's only forever
Not long at all

Through dangers untold
And hardships unnumbered
I have fought my way here
To the castle beyond The Goblin City
To ask the goblins for their help
For my will is as strong as theirs
And my kingdom is as great

Far from what one once was
Goblin King
The world has fallen down
I need your help
I need you now more than ever

Mr. John Merrick, I see and understand your pain
I see what the world has not nor continues to see
Perhaps what it has forgotten
But it lives
I see it, I feel it
For I am it
I will always be there
Your friend
My friend

To understand but never be understood
In this world
A world where humanity has been lost

A dark car is being sent out
I go in disguise
The city whose towers blackened fell
The garden which bears no earth
Inside

Deep inside

The lights have all gone out

The once burning flame
Now has been vanquished

Within the painting the winds have frozen
Knifed within the gilded ceiling above

For there is no greater way to dismantle ones character than to isolate it

Thunder

Marley is gone

Please

I need a miracle



Yours, Jamie Leigh

THEY SAY:

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.
- Confucious, In Humanity
Be the change you want to see in the world.
- Mahatma Gandhi
My imagination makes me human and makes me a fool; it gives me all the world and exiles me from it.
- Ursula K. Le Guin
Create like a god, command like a king, work like a slave.
- Constantin Brancusi
Surely whoever speaks to me in the right voice him or her I shall follow as the water follows the moon, silently.
- Walt Whitman
Life is mostly froth and bubble. Two things stand like stone ; kindness in another's trouble, and courage within your own.
To understand, rather than be understood. That's my mission. It's coming slowly, but I know it's my destiny, it's has to be, nothing else feels right. Compassion within humanity and doing things in the name of peace and love has become extinct. As a result I feel humanity to be in a current state of emergency. I feel this deeply, the pain, personal and around the world, therefore I must follow it, even if it ends in certain tragedy and I have no idea how I'll dive in. I've got to just dive and pray. If not, there is no reason to live unless it's for what you are passionate about. Sadly, there is an open slot that must be filled, no matter how small or how misunderstood, I've got to step up as long as I still feel it inside, which I do.
