Trapped in Elmo’s World
The antiseptic realm of niceness
Always saying please and thank you
And never hurting anyone’s feelings except my own
Counting the years that have gone past like circus clowns in small cars
Still scribbling outside the lines and never improving
Having some knowledge but no wisdom
Wanting what I want when I want it
A terrible little monster of my own design
The good people of Sesame Street try to help me
And I snarl at them like something that lives in a trash can
A red monster keeps me in my place and I allow it
Afraid to upset the delicate balance of a place
Where you can fall down and go boom, but never truly be hurt
A safe haven in an irresistible universe
But where one of these things is not like the others
Am I the one that does not belong?

YDDalmost 20 years agoI think this poem has quite a bit of promise.
It is full of interesting phrases as well as all the Sesame street images.
It might benefit from some restructuring of form,
but if you reshape it be careful not to lose the innocence of Elmo.
Learn to live for life's tickles!
WickedEvealmost 20 years agoWriting can be excellent therapy. This poem is quite original. I do like the part about "Still scribbling outside the lines and never improving."
livetodreamalmost 20 years agoA llttle dijointed in parts but very thought provoking overall.
Anonymousalmost 20 years agoto feeling hurt than the fall down, go boom, type pain. And sesame street is not alway s applicable to life, unless you happen to actually live there..mentally, or otherwise
keep writing, you will eventually improve with all the helpful people here at Lit
