my own little world

0 posted 2004-10-18 05:57 PM



Rattle ransack my hazy fuzebox
broken neuron circuit brain
effortless, I tear the pages I made
full of rage
anger
mistrust

Scratch the lines that smoked the vent
smash these walls and calm my focus
I defy
I refuse to pity
you sour repititious screaming snake
that I once loved

You left me alone
like a little boy running away from home
now in a fog of your own
distant from yourself as you are from me
torn as paper
fading like whispers
not knowing my name

Your image so close to my eyes
this perspective broken
as your hooded figure
stands cold behind glass shards
staring as if you have something to say
in horror freeze I scream plead
to never become the schizophrenic demon
inside the shattered mirror
for to become the monster I fear
is the sickest
                hell
the heaviest
                tear

Torn as paper
not knowing my name
the mirror that is my blood

My father.

And Stewardship was her name...
No one is expected to be a doormat...
You were truly admirable at waxing poetic with this one, River.
Sharred me up inside.
Love and Always!

Fathers.  Yeah my father.  This reminds me of him.  I haven't turned my back on him, but his stubborness and second-nature discouragement of everything I ever tell him about.  Yeah fathers can do things that make you mad, but love them anyway.  This poem to me is like crawling around in ashes and broken glass like a snake, only being human, and then right at the end its like you stand up and let yourself be known.  Thats so awesome.  I love it.  lol.
