My Name is SnowBird

"they only wanted.... stuff from me"

I am here too if you want to talk.

Take care,
Fuzzy

Hi Fuzzy,

Are you a dancing bear? Like in a circus?

I am fourteen, how old are you?

I have to leave now. My head is pounding and pounding and pounding and pounding.

Nice to meet you,

Snowbird (that is my pretend name )

I do dance a lot, you might find me around here somewhere, but I am not a circus bear. I am older than you by quite a bit

I like your (pretend) name, its very cool

Hi Snowbird,

I am 23. And im glad that you have chosen to stay with us. I like you

Hey everyone, I believe Snowbird wrote a poem today but I want her to post it. She's not out and I can't make you come out - it doesn't work like that.

So, keep watching.

I did see her while T was using hypnotherapy - she was standing across the stream in my safe place. She looked at me and kind of wondered who I was. T is working on our communicaiton.

Songbird (I'm exhausted).

Hi Snowbird, I am glad you did not go away....I want us to become friends....I like having friends...ok bye for now..

Hi Snowbird. I dont get out very often.

Its too dangerous. They make me talk about things that make me feel sqishy and icky inside.

So most of the time I just stay inside and listen to my music. Noone ever likes it though and they always tell me turn it down. I like it though and it makes all the bad thoughts go away sometimes.

I know how you feel about wanting to go away. I dont ever know if I can stay or not. I dont think people will like me very much, they never have. So I duno, Id rather stay inside than let people pick on me. I wont pick on you ever I promise.

Melly

I wont never pick on you either! Cause you are my friend. I am way away cause its stinky so I just reading alot but still being your friend.

Hello Samantha,

I got to talk with Mr. ***** last night and he was really nice. He said I could email him if I wanted which is good because I have a lot of questions and sometimes feel bad about talking about stuff. He is really nice and has a nice smile. I try not to look at him, though, eventhough I know that is not rude.

He made me a really safe place that I can go to when I get upset. It has a soft gray mist that surrounds a meadow and has a stream and birds singing and warm sunshine and pretty trees. I really like that place.

I would like to be your friend.

Snowbird

Hello Melly,

I'm glad you can come out and talk here. It's okay if you don't come out much, neither do I. Although lately, I'm out of my safe place more often. Mr.****** says it's okay and I'm starting to understand why sometimes I'm here in this play and sometimes I'm in another place. Still confusing but if I just accept the information for what it is, I don't get so confused. I figure it will all make sense eventually.

I like music too but don't get to listen to it. The bad people don't let me have anything. That's okay because then I'm not noticed as much and it's better that way.

I like to climb trees and read books. I do the two things together and sometimes I take my notebook and write poems. I know I have promised poems but I'm waiting to make sure no one will make fun of me.

That's what the bad people do, they make fun of me. I don't think you or any of my new friends here will. But, it's still scary.

Friends,
Snowbird

PS: I don't like to talk about the squishy stuff either. I don't tell MR.***** about them because I'm afraid he won't like me then. Just like the others.

Hello Rosie,

Why is it stinky to come and write to us here? It seems like we are all new friends and you don't have to write anything you don't want to. There is no pressure here. Just nice talk. I like having friends. The kids at school always pick on me cause I have really curly hair, or my clothes are different, or anything they decide to pick on me about. But, nobody picks on me here.

So, take your time and come to visit whenever you want. I won't feel bad, but I do like it when you visit.

I will get a poem in here soon. Just waiting to make sure that it really is safe, eventhough I think it is. It's just scary because when I share my poems with others, they make fun of me.

Friends,
Snowbird

.....this is not a stinky place silly billy beautful snowbird friend . I meaned that my place was a stinky place cause everyone is talking or fightin bout going to T soon. I never been to T before but i think it will be ok cause my friend said they will be looking after me and that i can talk if i want or not talk so i just see.

Sometimes mean people and being picked on can be a real pain and hurt ya feelins ay? We know all bout gettin picked on for things like lookin a bit diffrent or just even havin a diffrent name.........................someone told me that meanie people are always gonna end up sad cause they end up with no friends.

We are not meanie people so we will get friends . Friends is like presents ay?

see you later
and HI to all my other friends.
Rosie
