My Thinks Poem by Bonnie Shipman

I think no one cares
What I think (upstairs
In this lonely mind of mine)
Where my thoughts stand in line
For a moment of my time)
I think no one listens
To my ideas as they glisten
Like a bunch of perfect eyes
Which are smiling as they try
To believe a child's lie
I think not one could wish
They knew the dreams I swish
Around and up and down
In my crazy self's brain-town
Where the color is never brown-
I think to my fill,
I think this, until...
You throw me pennies
I throw you thoughts
You're pennies become replies
As my shyly said words rise
Like with pennies you have bought
My humble honor and delight
That you want to know the plight
And all the shining light
That my brain can bring to sight.
And I think someone cares,
and I'm right
