I HAVE A TENDENCY TO MAKE ENTRIES IN MY JOURNAL WHILE I'M 1/2 AWAKE...AND THEN DON'T REMEMBER WRITING THEM IN THE MORNING...HERE'S ONE OF THEM
you shouldn't eliminate the complexity
of this situation
i must have been blind
communicate somehow
horrified to speak will silence anyone
get this block out of my mouth
pardon me for yelling
most ignore my silence
horrified by the severity
they cringe inward
wanna play truth or dare with me
my sweet little peach
never knowing what the word "no" means
i owe you nothing so kiss my ass
should i give you exactly
what you deserve
horrified she flees for cover
hold your fork right
red bruises are apple kisses
and bathtime fun means soap in the eyes
it's all okay
it's time for bed
horrified of the dark
who will call me baby now
listen to the way the crickets sing
outside your window while you pretend
unicorn wallpaper watches
defenseless as me
horrified to be lying still
breathing steady as i can
anxious as i am to wear
this pair of pajamas
without the zipper
