You thought you owned
a silver curl
Cut right from
an average girl
Living in a tiny house
that always managed
to get very loud

On the other side
of the rickety fence
broken beer bottles
and faded prom gowns
sleep in the mud
Did you really think
it was so much better
on the other side?
Did you?

But I don't have
to sit here waiting
Living in my hell
because it looks so good
on a fresh set of breasts
I'll always be dark,
but I don't have to be
the broken mule

Supposedly strange
little self-rejected toys
Would you sleep with
the devil just to prove
that you're gone?
Children playing
out at night
because we think
it's cool
That's all we are


Fearlessness isn't living without fear, fearlessness is being afraid and still living.

"I'll always be dark,
but I don't have to be
the broken mule"

You're right!!! You can be in touch with your dark side without LIVING in it. Glad you realized that.   Good poem. Into metaphors huh? That's cool. They're fun to play with. Thanks for sharing.



You know its been a good day when you come home, realize you forgot your key again, and decide to climb through the doggie door instead of complaining

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

oh man jaime i wouldnt know what this is about even if i tried my hardest to provide an explaination. like barn though, it made me think a lot about what you were trying to say. the images and the title and then ending- it was all quite perplexing. i liked reading it lots. very reflective and craftly written. thanks for sharing
