Where'd you go?

There
or here
I stand alone
abandoned by close
friends
or friends I thought
were close
at least I have
family
my lover, so close
skeptical minds
running together in
streams of people
heading in the opposite direction
and all we do is try
to explain how to
understand
complexity of life
that most consider
unexplainable
can actually
truly completely
be explained
I don't want to
not be friends with
you
maybe
if you thought about it too
and did the
THOROUGH
research
you would see
all those things
that are clear to me
but not just I
it's science and
medicine and things
you have so much distrust
in
why?
why do you believe
what you believe
is it because your parents
taught you
is life to scary without
the imaginary
to calm
our soul
our brains
have you ever thought
that maybe you might be
wrong
i have, i am
a lot
i know i'm not always right
and would rather not let my
assumptions
choose my path
and decide my fate
wouldn't you rather know
the facts
and truth of what you're
Chosing for belief?
that's why i share
in hope
or with hope
that you might care
to know more
to learn more
and care to learn how to
teach yourself to
know the differences between
fact and fiction
and understand
just how
deceiving our brains can
be
and how those who market
to you are knowingly
taking your money
being unkind
with a mask of
nice words, feelings and
making you feel happy
inside...it feels good
doesn't it
This is just me
Not a rocket scientist
or surgeon
pharmacist
marketer
but i've read
i've listened
learned and am developing
my skills
in search of facts
beyond the scope
of random online posts
of bloggers and website owners
who put down pharmaceuticals
and then hypcritically'
sell shit on line
It's just me
trusting in science
skepticism
feminism
and
i think for myself

will this ever really happen?

Time passes on as i
sit here alone each day
waiting for that perfect person
somebody else
must be perfect for
here

Not us, just you
we are not meant to be here in this place
with these people
who frown upon our thoughts
and beliefs in this world

who are you
you perfect person just waiting
for your financier to say
it's okay
here's your cash
your dough and stash to take
and buy that place you'll love

funny little house
for it sits alone on a street
the only one of it's kind
silent and cute and special in
it's own special sort of ways

could it be that only we could like this place
small and sweet with a backyard retreat

I hear cackles bursting through my
windows
it breaks my thought and concentration to
hear it just one more time
my hair cringes and
i want to be rid of the people
who make this so hard
living here so incredibly difficult

wind whips around the house today
no cars or people have come to listen
to the blustery
sounds
among the trees of our street
or hear the sweet sound of rivers on my radio
nor have they come to view the flowers in
our garden...
