On a Ramp[of]age

struggling
against the common
of her sense
tense lines configuring
facial overtones
underneath
all in the habit of
waiting for the shoe to drop
holding her breath
knowing what's around
the corner
and her boogieman still
in the closet
she still
won't
let
go

~*~

advice comes over and over
through lines of mother’s face
stilled by father’s grace and
what they said sure
stands true “take
good care
of you”
but

never did they admit
that times could
be troubling
so downwardly
the spiral goes
tornadic in
its effortless
still no one
knows the
inner mess
that will
seize
her
day
by
day

she cares too much to
let you in and that’s
indeed her greatest
sin for give and
give she gave
her all but no
one knew of
her recall
to times
that had
bent her
spine and
no one
would
let her
ever
un
w
i
n
d

give her just the gist of gall
and she will give you all
recall to laughing times
and days of ease, she
captures you a hint
of breeze she
tumbles with
her every
word but
no one
will admit
they
heard

the silent scream that’s trapped
therein, and gasped aloud she
silently spins through the
mist of days and nights
still she holds her self
so tight she will one
day give you a
call but for
now don’t
hold your
breath
at all
