Untitled Poem

Mommy, there's a monster in the closet

It’s really scary.

Don't forget to shut the door!

We cant get the monster angry…

Shhh…..be quiet...Do you think they heard us?

Mommy, listen, it’s satan, he’s real,

Please…..No….help?

This fiend, mommy, she makes me weep.

Monster doesn’t know how to be kind,

It hurts me, mommy.

She pulls my hair,

I don’t like it when my face stings.

His veins begin to bulge.

GOD NOOO!! WHOP!!

It’s skin is fire with every blow,

Monster says she loves me though

I know the story, mommy.

I don’t cry wolf.

Mother, I’m sad,

Not to mention full of chaos,

And clutter, too.

Mother, it’s getting harder to breathe,

(Exhale)

That's alright,

Monster let go.

Mommy, monster isn’t fair.

I can’t stand the abuse.

She wants to know why I can't love her, too.

All the love that ever was,

And ten times more,

Beauty queen with a heart of stone.

Wanted to be just like you,

Now I’m grown.

Gave all your compassion away,

For us, you left none

First stage is denial,

First step is acceptance.

The problems a pair,

Mother and Monster tango as one

Mother, please pardon,

A new tunes a beating,

And I’ll kick your ass,

But mother needs to learn to be a mother.

Fuck all the cats,

Who needs silver spoons,

Fuck that little boy,

And the man on the moon.
