Analytic Questioning
By Emily "Rosy the Cat" Bryant


I've known my daddy since birth, 
But we didn't start understanding each other 
Until my twentieth year on this earth. 
My mommy, she's loved me forever, 
But I can't tell her anything because 
She'll get upset out of proportion. 

Should a girl be telling her deep-dark secrets
To her friends while shying from her blood? 
Should a woman grow up fearing knowledge 
Without understanding?

Sanity, they say, is the insanity of the masses, 
So does that make me saner than most? Crazier? 
War and violence tear up nations and homes, 
But we still cheer for the soldiers. 
Am I nuts, or am I hiding from the insanity 
Of the world? 

What is the great master plan? 
God of all things, help me understand! 
My path is unclear, shine your light, 
So that I may do what you know is right. 
Love is your name, known by all, 
But when or where or "IF" will I hear that call?
