A dillemma...

Confused I may seem,
It’s just because things seem strange to me.
Little are my steps, and little is my strength,
but little drops of water make a mighty ocean.
It seems like I am fighting against the air,
and I'm the only one fighting in my dilemma.
My little mind travels everywhere,
and my imaginations have no limit.

This place is an interesting place,
and everyone seems to love me,
but I feel I am too dependent.
I wish to experience something,
just as I'm about to touch it, ... whoosh
it gets taken away.
I don't fight of course,
because all I can do to express myself is cry.
I get cradled in the hands of a woman I've grown to love,
Someone who seems to understand my needs and wants the most,
and sometimes I wonder why I feel so right.
Somewhere deep in my mind,
I believe things will change,
but until then I'll be comfortable with these little steps.
