Unstuffed Animal by ~bobtf:iconbobtf:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Open


On a tattered path a child searches for who he is.....

Teddy in one hand, nothing to hold in the other

He won't leave behind who he was just to find out who he is
He might not like the answer,
So he takes along parts of himself in case he gets lost

He's learned a lot,
Taking this journey,
But each time....he lossened his grip

The path opens up,
As do his fingers until he decides to put teddy down....... 'just for a moment' he thinks

He hugs teddy for the last time and says "I love you, I'll be right back"......


Today.......
Teddy still sits alone.....
But you can't pick it up for him, he hid it well

Where is your teddy,
Did you leave him somewhere safe?
Will you ever play with him again?

And when the sun sets on the path you took,
Will teddy still be there when you come back?

I know what your probably thinking. What the hell is with all the little stuffed animal references. But this time I want to make it clear that the teddy represents more than just a teddy.

I wanted the teddy to represent people's imaginations or old dreams you've left to rot in the dark corner of your heart.

Basically this poem was made to tell you to not lose sight of who you are or were, because someday you might realized you changed for the worse and its too late to go back.

I know what you mean, are you saying this out of experience or has one of your friends lost their path? Sometimes I almost lose myself, thanks so much for these poems.

I've been tossing around a poem with the same concept for a couple of months, but you did an amazing job :)
Very true and it has rhythm to it.

I think your poems are full of sadness but I can found some... like jewels of wonderful shine from deep sadness.

Not much, although daylight savings makes me want to crawl into a cave and never come out again until fall, haha :)

How about you?
