"You have to be the wise one" they said to the little girl
You are not allowed to cry
you are into the fortress they said while stopping her mid-twirl
You are ruining it ,you cant fix it,you are too shy
She waited outside the door of every storm
she waited out the blues
she waited for happiness in its old form
she fooled herself,she waited for the promises to come true
she walked on like they said she should
she felt responsible for every success and failure
she clung to memories of yesteryears ,they said she could
dolls,dresses and chocalates had no place here
she was the only responsible adult
she was the only responsible kid
she soon discovered she was a seperate cult
a cult for those who were stuck between their adult and kid
she did know if she could be anything but her
so she became her now
she became the cults only survivor
knowing not to define herself now
swirling stars,candy and laughter are gone
a suffocating silence takes its place
the participaticipation of feeling is not allowed
emancipation is forbidden lest she is relieved
how can she then punish herself?
every feeling is drained every dream is forbidden
every blame is taken
every word is remembered yet
EVERY moment wants to be forgotten.

reminiscence
lazy hot summer afternoons
they seemed endless and short
wish they come back soon
a time when ice tea would hit just the right spot
adults slept like the beanstalk giants
when a warm breeze was welcomed by our capes
and our skates lifted off the ground
afternoon cycle-hurdle-race a big event
gashes and blood was no excuse
it didn't matter if your cribs were pink or blue
the sharp glint against the sun
our trusted silver papered swords
protected our land from the unimaginative giants
kept safe the world of little people- Excalibur in our hands
I have lost my excalibur
my world is safe no more
Iam myself too big for it
my men in arms are too, no more
The hurdles are getting bigger
I can't get through no matter how unique I thought I would be
The crown has lost its glory
The cape doesn't seem a must anymore
My skates are always on the ground
"stay grounded"seems to be "in"
should I stay grounded?
aren't I already "out"?
