Teddy Bear Innocence

The fur of the old stuffed bear was once soft,
now it is rough and bumpy.
The years have gone by and
it seems very quickly.
Rocking my way out of the cradle.
Finally free at last, but
locked now in the clasps of
imperfection and labels.
A childs innocence, as soft
and friendly as a teddy bear
but gets broken and torn with
tears of sorrow, anger, and joy.
This teddy, this toy, is the last mark of my
innocence.
You can try to fix me up with homemade patches.
You can try to hide me in a toy box,
so the world will not harm me.
You can try to pretend you dont see that I am no more
the soft and velvety teddy I once was
but a bear that has been through the world
and has had much experience.
You can live in your perfect world
but it will not change the way I live mine.
One day you will look
at the shelf and
see that the
teddy is gone, along
with it
my innocence.
No more rough, bumpy fur and no
teddy bear.
Im gone. My childhood innocence
has said so long.
