Poor Amy Marie Must Go Free

Poor Amy Marie sits in a cell

to which she's been sentenced

just for feeling anything she does,

instead of always waiting for command

from those who just want to float on the cloud

that every little thing she does in life

scores another notch in their belts

because they "care enough to teach her!"

She tries her very best to do right on her own,

and all she gets for her trouble is cold, angry words.

Poor Amy Marie sits in a prison

not of her own manufacturing.

It's just that she's had the misfortune

of being with too many family and friends

with many different thoughts and ideas

and the common bond of thinking

that their every opinion is scientific law.

What she needs now is people who care enough

to get their facts straight before trying to teach her,

that they may offer her escape to true knowledge.

Poor Amy Marie sits in a cage

manufactured by experience with so many

who'll twist everything to their own advantage

just so they can walk loud and proud

that nothing will ever be their fault.

You should see the raindrops in her eyes

from the dreaded storms of regretting

things she didn't even do wrong

while others get to sit and watch a parade

built completely on their own fantasies.

Poor Amy Marie must go free

before the warden destroys her ability

to function in this old crazy world.

She needs someone who'll be sure

they know the whole truth in her situation

before trying to give her their two cents.

She needs someone who'll care enough

to help her come out of her shell.

She needs someone who won't gloat,

but guide her gently in the right path.

Poor Amy Marie must go free

from the groundless idea that nature

centers its every single law on wanting

to declare her guilty of simply being Amy Marie

and of having true thoughts and feelings,

instead of being merely a robot

that can't function without someone

to program its every single move,

for such self-loathing ideology

is no way for anyone to live.

Poor Amy Marie must go free

from those who'll only wish her joy

when she's doing like they'd do,

and when her mind works to the letter

of how their own minds do.

Poor Amy Marie must go free

from those who imprison themselves

by longing to see themselves

in everyone they meet.

Who will go with me to set her free?

Thought provoking words here. Good use of repetition. Some people have become robotic...sad really. Lydi**
