    Devil Child

    walk down main - nothings new to me
    i never worry because i dont care about protecting myself
    but theres some loose cannons- beggars- n ur their banquet
    " how can a woman so quickly turn to dust?
    its got to be about love
    perhaps the 1st time the neighbor raped you - or your father did
    did your mama watch- because she was so high on heroin?
    how can humanity so quickly turn to dust?"
    i was living thinkin-  when that midnight door would open up again
    his cigarettee and whisky beer breath porched by my bedside
    a tiny clock that would tell me when it was all over- wake up for school-
    kids clowning around like they were atop the world never knowin how it feels to need to need
    i was so young- so young- but i never got a chance to be young!
    a tiny clock sits by my bed n it reminds me of all those nights
    he may have hurt me but hell never not pay the concequences that i have dreamed upon his soul from night 2 night
    "i have franchised his funeral
    a forest in hell- i am not the best
    but i would never hurt anyone
    i'm used 2 having a family these days
    maybe the devil will disapearr w/in a dream!

    Powerful piece!! You are one of those people who writes from their core. You show it for all the world to see, and do it well. Thx for sharing this.

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
