jake Jake traded me the USDA prime pin up girl painting for my "Grab Bag Mystery Item" and then decided to throw in this Pokemon drawing that he made as well as an autographed copy of "Other Voices - A Literary Journal Created by People with Mental Illnesses. "
Jakes's poem:
I'm Just That Way
If you don't see me for who I am
I'm sorry.
I hide behind fantasies
Because I don't fit in.
I'm unique.
You call me strange.
I'm a dreamer.
The imagination is a trip
Into your very soul.
I'm the gatekeeper of dreams
And I won't let you in.
You bang on the iron bars
Of creativity
And the hollow clang
Bounces off your narrow head.
I'm a good natured freak
Whom you despise!
I'm a poet and
I'm just that way!
