Once a moments gone- its gone
So think quick
The tide will throw you down
Should you wonder long
Regret it- and you’re carried away
Nothing to lose- or take
Hurry then
For this wave will come
Which I’ve called pain
Grab fast- hold tight
Don’t let slip
It’ll be alright- as long as your head is high
Just above the tossing despair
And should pain overtake
Hold your breath
Now
WAIT
………………………………………
the light will find
those who seek to surface
whether illuminating inside- or out
take the moment
when there’s nothing else
to take
Three wishes, the genie says
Three wishes, are all you’ll receive
Make it money, fame or fortune
You could have it all
Just wish and I’ll make it so
Three wishes, you say?
Well let me see… what do I desire most?
First would be my mother
The memory of her warmth haunts me still
If truly I can wish for anything, genie
It would be my dear departed mother’s embrace
Second
What could I wish for more
Than my father’s laughing face
So far away, so out of reach
How’s longs it been since I last heard him speak
Won’t you grant me his presence again?
Third
Is there really anything more to ask
With just the
Bang
The world washes away
Bang
My breath stills in my chest
Bang
She’s fallen to the floor
Bang
My screams follow him out the door
If there were ever a battle worth fighting for
It would be the battle for my family
I’d bruise my knuckles for my brother
Dirty my hands for my sister
Dole out poison for my father
Drink it, for my mother
Bang
My vision fades
Bang
My limbs grow cold
Bang
I kneel at her side
Bang
Hear his pickup rumbling away
How I wish it were as simple as a fight
To simply defeat another and I’ve won my prize
But here and now there is not much to do
Because my mother’s in the ground and my father

Be Careful What You Wish For
I hold her tight in my hands
And all that comes to mind
is "This is so precious"
I look out upon these plains
And only the thought of their beauty
makes it's way to the surface
I smell the scent of wind and grass
And I know it is sweetest of any
to ever happen upon
I put his cheek against my lips
And taste the dirt and sweat
that is proof of hard work done
I look up at this unforgiving sky
And can only know that I am tiny
only one in billions
I hear the birds and trees
whispering and singing
sweet nothings
I wrap my arms around him tight
And feel how small he is
"Will mommy be alright?"
I cannot look into his eyes
As I
Smile Smile
Hide Hide
Run Run
Never let them show
Jagged shapes
Swirling patterns
Tattoos of pain
Stare me down
Just don't see
My scars I love
Blinking squinting
Smiles smiles
Are all you'll see
Because I work hard
To fill up these hairline cracks
Back up with pain
Of another persuasion
So never you'll see
These scars I treasure
Never you'll see
Anything but smiles
My head hurts
My body aches
These leaden limbs
Are hard to move
The air pressure is crushing
Breathtaking
But I wish it would work faster
Hurry hurry let's get this over with
My clothes thrash around me
Smacking against, bruising myself
And I almost feel like smiling
Because that's as it should be
Everything against me
No one should come near me
Or my velocity will overtake
And though I'm lonely
I'd rather fall forever
Than those that I love be unbalanced
And so I go
Letting everything loose
I scream and I scream
Where none shall hear
Way up in the air
Breaking through the barrier
So I descend
Deeper, deeper

Screams out the cellar, Wailing out the attic by RooDaDoo2442, literature
Literature
Screams out the cellar, Wailing out the attic
Tearing my throat
This beasts' claws
Break my wind
Shatter my sails
From deep it goes
Upward ascending
Dragging screams with it
Bringing wailing before it
Scratching, scritching
In my veins
In my lungs
Echoing throughout my soul
Roaring Roaring
Soaring Soaring
These stormy seas I face
An attic death I take
As cellar birth I was unborn
The beast it calls
Suddenly gentle seeming
As I row towards it
Welcoming these screams out the cellar
And wailing out the attic
And it feels
So lonely my heart aches
I claw at my chest
Frenzied
Trying to tear out this hurt
And it feels
So bad
My eyesight blurs
And I shut my eyes tight
As if to fight the visions
Of times past and times never been
And it feels
So cold I curl into
A tiny pathetic ball
A ball of throbbing pain
And pulsing sorrow
Sobbing
And it feels
As though there is nothing
In this world to comfort me
No one to lean on
Not an ear to hear me
Not a voice to soothe
And it feels
Like I'm blind
Blinded by this pain
I can't see anything
But those moments when
Everything was taken from me
And it feels
Like I'm crazy
I see t
