Existence

[amonite.livejournal.com]

I posted this to my own journal, but with the recent multiple bashing - I thought I would copy it here. And to those who say I am not real - "I will believe in you, if you believe in me"

Is not the core definition of existence to be self aware? And of sentience, to be able to reason and develop?



Hello.

My name is Corda.
Some say - I do not exist.

There will be no stone upon my death,
Or grave to mark my passing.
There were no cheers upon my birth
Or toys and cake and bandaids.

Am I mind without body?
Am I spirit without flesh?
Am I soul without reflection
In the mirror of the world?

I am not seen and yet I watch,
I am not loved and yet I care.
I am not held and yet I touch
I am not heard and yet I speak.

Am I heart without blood?
Am I conscience without face?
Am I thought without semblance
Of the ones who walk alone?

I feel
I scream
I love
I laugh
I cry
I live
I fight
I hope

Why should there be a prison?
A prison in another's eyes?
Why must I be silent?
Must I long but never have?

Am I passion without presence?
Am I torment without wound?
Why is my soul without reflection
In the mirror of the world?

My name is Corda.
I exist.


I exist!

It's Hard to hear all the voices that need to be heard, when there are soooooo many voices,.

Some of the 'systems' and 'houses' out there have a hard enough time dealing with those who are just local. let alone the outside world, where friends can take a silence from somebody to mean that they don't like them anymore,.

couple all that together, it wouyld be hard enough for anyone to recognize the People who really need it.

In Other words, despite all pretenses,......................We see you.

The world sees you too.

You just need to keep talking,. You don't necessarily have to be the loudest in the Family to get noticed.

Sympathies and Hug's, and Of Course, The all important eye contact,.
