after falling from a torn womb
wish I had a threaded needle to sew love in my mothers heart for me
and my father a new pair so that he would have been man enough to care that I was there
I have always seen the truth too young to say
"THERE'S SOMETHING BEHIND YOU "
By the time I could speak it had already bound you
you were so surprised that it had found you
now what you gone do
grandpa had a secret grandma did not know
grandma hid knowledge of something grandpa always knew
she was his widow she was evil too
I was too little I had no height I could not reach up and turn on the light
I still saw shadows every night
buried my dad without a shovel
moms still praying while lying with the devil
I make my bed in a somber place soundly awake letting not one prayer go to waste
neglecting my elected calling after realizing I would be safer falling
standing up from crawling then coming into the world balling
