I tried to let it go,
But it hurt so much you know,
To hear the words you said,
They keep echoing in my head…
Ya called me a joke,
And it made me want to choke
On the words I wanted to say,
But I saved them instead for today-
Cause I got those needles
holding my lips shut,
Felt so strong the urge to cut,
But I am not going to let you win,
Not again…
So if I am a joke..
Then what are you,
Cause I could not do,
What you told me too…
You can offer advice,
Then chill like ice,
When I don’t take it,
Makes you want to throw a fit,
But I am not you,
Can’t do the things
You want me to…
So I thought about the things you said,
Thinking Reindeer was better off dead,
But then I got mad,
And now I’m glad,
Cause it changed something in me,
Thought I’d let you see,
The person that I need to be-
So here I am back again,
Though it may cost me a friend,
I am taking my name back
Trying to make up for what I lacked…
The courage to let you see,
The real me…
So go ahead and call me a Joke,
Tell me I am no good until I want to choke
On those words you say to me,
And I am going to make you see,
I may not be as strong as you,
But what I am will have to do…
Cause I am tired of hiding,
Tired of your chiding,
Because I am not brave,
I am emerging from that cave,
Opening that door,
To walk among you once more-
But this time dear,
I am showing you no fear,
And get the name right,
uhhm who else couldyou be but Reindeer and my snow ball throwing friend hope you okay

Do we have to come up there and give this guy a 'what for?" [smiles] We are very good at attitude adjustments and making people socially acceptable. [Well, most of the time]
Good one Rhetta.

Your poetry is so powerful Retta...I find myself reading between the lines to understand you and I think I do...this is an intense poem..great work of expression..floria
Reindeer, your poetry is always so strong. Whenever you would review me you always signed Reindeer, so I knew that is how you wanted to be adressed. But I got lazy and used your shorter name, Retta. From here on out you will be Reindeer. Have you ever written a poem on what reindeer symbolizes within Indian society? I would find that information interesting.
