"I really don't know :D!" - Mimi.S


From time to time I think of you.
From time to time I had wish I knew.
The writer, the man that open my eyes and had made me see.

Day by day I sat reading your book.
Day by Day I wonder what they had took.
The writing, the words that you spoken had made you seem lost to the world and society.

Month by month when I had finish the book,
you still stayed with in my mind.
Month by month you had never left in any way,
emotional or physical.

As I read your book and though of you,
It made me see what other couldn't before.
As I lie awake at night,
I stay thinking that I had wish I was one of the people that had helped you.

Now I sit here. In the dark thinking.
Thinking about you and how it worked out for you.
Christopher Badger,
you are the man I wish I knew.


The author's comments:
This poem is to Chistopher Badger.
His life was tougher then mine and for that, I feel really sad for him and I really did wish I could meet him or been there when he needed people to understand him. But for right now all I can do is sit and read his over and over again. *Note*
Read his post he had made in 2009 on The Healthy Place.:

And buy his bio on Amazon. A short but heart braking and eye opening book that may change the way you see anyone with any kind of disorder.:
