I want to be a teddy bear
with silence in my head
I'd like to not remember
all the tears that I have shed

I'd like to be a teddy bear
loved by everyone
it hurts to be ignored sometimes
for things I've said and done.

I wish I was a teddy bear
no pressures on my time
I feel so overloaded
yet I always say I'm fine

I want to be a teddy bear
a smile on my face
never any memories
to make me feel disgrace

If I were a teddy bear
would you take me in
or would you rip me up inside
and throw me out again

I've been feeling rather overwhelmed lately and I wish I could hide or go back to days when there was nothing to worry about.

I think everyone's felt like that at some point in their life.

I'm rather partial to the simplistic nature of this poem. I think it sort of paints a picture.

Nice, simple form. I think it definitely speaks what everyone has thought, thinks or will in the future.

Reminds me of song called 'Staring at a Bird', same theme.

Great Job!

Cool, I never thought about a teddy that way before. It is kind of a great new look into the innocents of the fluffy lovable creatures, and I feel your pain. It sucks to be overwhelmed, but we always make it through, we just have to stay motivated.

I liked how you were changing the first line... want, like, wish,... but then you go back to want. I think it would be cool if you make that different. My suggestion would be "I need to be a..."

Also, the last stanza was a bit out of rhythm the first time I read it, but as I went over it again it fell into place. I don't know if it was just me or the way it changes the direction of the feel of the rest of the poem that made me stumble through it? You might take a look at it and see if you can figure out if there is something wrong with it that I'm not seeing or if I'm just crazy.

It does take a turn at the end and though the format changes a bit, it was necessary to ask that last question yknow? I don't think it breaks too much away from the poem. And it does a good job of concluding things well. But I do see what you're saying.

And you're right about the want, like, wish thing. I ran out of verbs =P I suppose need could work but it doesnt really fit with the other ones. need and want are very different. But I'll stick it in at home and read through it to see if it sounds good.

Thanks for the critique :highfive:
