You Can't- By Susan Thomas

You can't...
dive into the waters,
oh so blue,
and ride the waves...
in sheer ectasy.
That water is too dark.

You can't...
climb in that car,
and listen to the engine roar,
as your body anticipates,
that ride ahead.
It could strike anytime.

You can't...
boil that water,
for a cup of cocoa.
Even though it's richness and warmth,
could soothe your throat.
It just not safe.

You can't...
see that movie,
you yearn to see.
The light might bother you.

You can't...
get married.
You may be pretty.
You may be a delight,
but no one wants a broken girl.

You can't...
have children.
the want and need doesn't matter.
You could pass on your disease.
Those seizure lurking in the shadows,
could take you anythime.
A girl like you just can't.

Unconditional Love-by Susan Thomas

All alone
in a crowded room
laughter echoes
teases and taunts
haunts my every thought
no love for the diffrent
no love for those
that crave the norm
when times were darkest
his love wasn't felt
numb to his tight embrace
never knew he wiped my tears
It was so dark
that it consumed me
I thought he'd gone
abandoned me like so many others
when the dawn came
washing away the dark
to my delight
He was there
holding me
and humming a soothing song
I now felt his love overwhelm
I wept with joy
as I realized
I was never alone
I just was so consumed
that I couldn't see

300 pounds-By Susan Thomas

I can see it now.
How the cookie that's oh so sweet.
Makes a woman,
Morph into a 300 pound whale.
Fat ripples with every step,
Like the morning tide,
In the wee hours of the mourn.
At the moment...
I resemble a chubby cat.
But i'm only
One pizza slice away,
One piece of cake away,
One donut or cookie away
From becoming...
That 300 pound whale.
