The Lonely Child
Alexis Hall Jun 2016
I'm not the oldest, the middle, the second, or the only child
I'm the lonely child
The child by itself
No friends, no love
I'm a prisoner in my own body
In my own mind
1 and 2
Look at you
By yourself
Feel pity for you
Not the oldest, but the youngest
This is for time
Climbing bridges
Climbing your own life
Staircase sinks underneath
No one comes for you
Sirens in the distance
Sirens run past
Parents screeching
Emotion leaching
Preachers preaching
And here I stand
In the empty land
In my head
Falling instead

Get Down
Alexis Hall Jun 2016
Lure her
Floor her
Scare her
Stone her
Beat her
**** her
Get down
Stay down
Play around
The sound
Deaf and blind
Can't see truth
Won't hear truth
Illusion blinds her
Words go through
But it won't sink in
So she
Gets down
And stays down
While they
Lure her
Floor her
Scare her
Stone her
Beat her
**** her
And she doesn't even know

— The End —
