Calamity Jane poem

To some,
you were calamitous calamity Jane.
You walked around with your head in the clouds,
and you did not wish others to know your name,
and you never knew where you were going,
but you were happy,
and you never wished for change,
and anyone could ask you a question,
and you would always reply the same,
It does not matter where I go,
and it does not matter that the sun shines,
or that the rain falls,
or that the snow falls,
or that the wind does blow.
What matters is that I am alone for in my head is a world,
a world that is much better than this world that we know,
and no matter the season,
no matter the spring and the summer,
no matter the autumn and the winter this is where I shall go.
I shall wander in my head no matter what is said,
for it is a beautiful place where I go,
and it is full of tropical breezes,
and sandy beaches and clear blue seas,
on another planet amongst the stars,
and with a gravity so you can float just a little,
and I like to fly there along the coast,
because human company means not much to me,
and humans are so mean,
and I would rather be alone in this world that I know,
and with a smile on her face, she walked off alone,
and she in her daydreams,
she avoided everyone that she could see,
and she tripped over everything,
and she grazed her legs, and she grazed her knees,
and she fell into holes,
and she scrambled down mountainsides,
and she jumped into the seas,
and she wandered through the forests,
and she wandered through the jungles,
and she climbed trees,
and she never knew where she was going,
and when asked where she was going,
It does not matter where I go, she replied,
and it does not matter that the sun shines,
or that the rain falls,
or that the snow falls,
or that the wind does blow,
but what matters,
what matters is that I am alone,
and then when asked if she remembered what she had seen, in this world she said no,
because I do not care for it,
with its war and its suffering and humans being so mean,
I shall wander in my head no matter what is said to me,
because it is a beautiful place where I go,
and it is full of tropical breezes and sandy beaches,
and there is no war and suffering and no religions,
and no peer pressure or stress,
and I always have a smile on my face,
because in my heart when I am there,
I have no worries and I have no cares,
and there is no one to judge me,
and there is no one to stare,
and I need no material things,
and I eat well whilst I am there,
and I am happy being me,
I am happy being me there,
and always I will be in my daydreams,
upon another planet,
floating above the seas,
and I will be enjoying my time there,
and enjoying my memories,
because I have seen far too much horror in this world,
and this world and me do not agree,
so, it does not matter where I go,
upon the Earth,
and it does not matter that the sun shines,
or that the rain falls,
or that the snow falls,
or that the wind does blow.
What matters is that I am alone,
for in my head is a world,
a world that is much better,
than this world that we know,
and in my daydreams,
upon another planet,
I am happier than you will ever know.
