My Childhood 🥀
My mother’s lover was the majesty for us all to bow down to Wanting an escape from this small world tumbling around me My mother would drink her sorrows away Until he gave her the drugs now how can she save us it’s as if she has ear plugs She would pretend to be okay but there was never a day I did not hear her cries My brother and sister would play to try to not hear the screams of the day My mother was full of love towards this man who only knew how to be her noose Blood dripping from her skin as she cries on my bed trying to mend As a child I cannot comprehend why she won’t save us from this condescending man She screams to him not to leave her But each time I can’t believe my beautiful mother could love the monster that haunting us My brother full of anger always ready to be our protector My sister full of fear it’s tragic to see her tears I beat on his van telling him to fight me like a man before he ran away with my sister Taking my sister as if no one would miss her My brother gasping for air as the man my mother loves chokes him Kicking him to the ground as my brother looks around for no one to save him Wishing I could cloak him I scream to stop him With his evil smirk he says I’m next but I wonder if I’m better off in a coffin Why does my mother deem him as this man who loves us He only cuts us with his words and violence We are our only protectors against the evil man We are a clan born to stand together How could this cruel place be where I belong I find my peace within the songs my grandmother sung to me Her safe place is where I try to belong

Peer into an enchanted forest, There the Grey Witch resides. Where souls go to heal. Unaware of the darkness beauty hides. You will find her in the kitchen, Smells swirl spicy and sweet. Ruffled skirts and curled hair, No shoes on her feet. Smooth skin hides her years. Shining eyes of a child hide... read more

Quote of the Day:
"my grandmother's mind was a ballroom inside were her memories each one dressed for a celebration the man in the white blazer on the dance floor is the memory of her wedding day he never stops dancing" - Phil Kaye

In another-
The moonlight keeps on crashing down The birds, asleep, they make no sound These woods are a neverending maze My sweet, my love, I am in a daze And the walls keep changing, I never can reach you Cannot find our love Who knows what these woods around me hide But I do not have the bidding time Take... read more

Putting my feelings into a poem
Speaking and writing has lost its meaning when no one understands. Everyone says they know what you say, yet have their heads in the sand. This world has grown ever more tiresome once you see the truth. As we venture into the future people become more obtuse.
