Not a Care Bear
I never thought of myself as a plush toy
Honestly I am not exactly the soft and cuddly type of girl
Or at least I don't think I am
You however see me somewhat differently
You think I am sensitive
You think I am all lotion and tears
I must have you really fooled
I only use lotion for practical reasons
And as for my tears, I try to hide them in the dark
The only reason you see them is because you look for them
Care Bears sit around and look lonely
I hate the thought of sitting on a bed and watching the world move around me
Looking silently out the window is not an activity for me
I want to be outside in the weather, the storms and the sunshine
So what if I great people in a chearful, and care-free manner
What is wrong with that
So what if I'm not always as happy as I sound
It is not my goal in life to burden others with my worries and woes
I much rather have people fooled by my smiles
Don't get me wrong, I do get tired of acting and playing a role
But I would become more weary of always explaining to people how I feel and why
Care Bears live in a perfect world full of flowers, trees, and running rivers
My world is almost the extreme opposite, to me at least, that is how it seems
I wake up in the morning, not seeing any rainbows
I don't have strength on my own
I have to depend on a Higher Being, for my strengh
But I love my life, with all its twists and turns
I can't imaging my world without the mix of deep pain and great joy
My life is not a rainbow of colors, but a display of emotions
A Care Bear is one solid color, never changing, constint
I however would become bored being the same shade every day of my life
I like changing my moods, making people double take
Care Bears want to be held
I won't even touch on that one
Care Bears are toys, plush, created for love
I am NOT A CARE BEAR...I too easily break!!!!!
