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

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

You are all my children. Now, fuck off to bed.
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.

And you're right about the want, like, wish thing. I ran out of verbs
Thanks for the critique
