Playtime

Wanna be me?
I can play you
We’ll all have fun
Playing in the sun
Me for a day
Pain swept away
I can be you
Life perfect and new
Gone all my problems
No longer bother them
What’s that you say?
Don’t want to be me
Just for a day?
It’s okay
Run along and play
I’ll play inside
You seek, I’ll hide
In the bathroom
Shiny silver glistens
Now covered in red
I’m okay now
That? Oh, it’s just a cut
Yes, an accident, of course
I’m so very clumsy
Like Humpty Dumpty
Who sat on a wall
I had a great fall
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Cannot put me back together again
Playtime is done
Have you had fun?


Dark Star



Need to hold on for another day
Why do I try?
Where does it get me anyway?

This is scary,
School's out playtimes in.
Welcome to passions.
Be Well, Be very Well

but it is the loss that shapes the image,
gathers the flowers weaves the garland."-

Wonderfully written and imaginative...though, I have been in this same spot...not a good healthy playtime at all....
Welcome to Passions...you made a wonderful entrance!!
Take care and be well..
Until...

I think it's great the satire you used here...and its so scary too,  I enjoyed this piece very much and welcome to passions    you'll love it here.

my love is my inspiration
