Cracks

The cracks in the ceiling
stared back at me,
as if even they had their
**** more straightened
out than I do.

I walked along the cobblestone,
my feet light with each step.
It was an unfamiliar feeling,
a change of pace from the
heavy footsteps I once kept.
Oh, these foreign towns,
turning me into the weight of a feather,
having me practice my writing
in the form of a "miss you back home" letter.

A human bandage for others,
we forget we too need tending.
****** & bruised,
it's okay to give yourself
a bandaid too.

When
I saw the ocean
first time
a doubt, why
this portion of the world
rained heavily..

When
I saw the sky
a question
Why stars are faraway
then understood
In our house
something precious
always kept faraway of
my reach..

when
we moved from
village to town
a train journey made me
to believe the world moves..

When
I joined in school
my teacher takes attendance
when I say ' Present Miss'
I understood the term
awareness
am in school now,
not in home..

When
in sports
my classmates pushed me
and call for fight
I learned
School just an extension
of forest to practice survival..

When
I first saw
the mark sheet
My Parents proud
and discussed
my hunting skill to
survive in future world...

It's been a year now
I wish I could forget

A lot has changed
It hasn't even snowed yet

I believed in the snow
Once filled with hope now regret

Like the red stripped sweater
The first time we met

I can't believe I am left like this
Telling myself not to fret

Searching for what I did wrong
Trying not to break a sweat

Now I'm left with a torn photo Avoiding the sweater like a threat

Praying it doesn't snow
Wishing I could forget

But I can't
I can't forget December

average

MRK
she was always
mediocre
from the minute she was born.
absolutely average in every way.
she was the middle child
always trying to mediate
big brother and little sister
stuck in the middle.
she loved the theatre
yet she was always a small role
always in the show, never a lead,
perfectly average.
smart, but not first in her class
just above
average.
average build, average athlete,
average personality,
average person.
and as she set expectations for herself,
her average-ness
crushed her
and she wanted to be
Perfect.

Mommy! Mommy! I'm crying!
Jumping in the rocking chair
Baby, sit down, stop your whining.
Tearing a stranger’s underwear

Mommy! Mommy! I feel sick!
Sharp words spoken through *****
Sweetie, would you stop your joking?
A freshly rolled joint made for smoking

Mommy! Mommy! I can't breathe!
Hysteria from the panic
Dearest, just take some pills, please.
On the drugs from the attic

Mommy! Mommy! My chest hurts!
Rapid pounding through the shirt
Honey, shut up, drink your bottle.
Alcohol straight from the nozzle

Mommy! Mommy! I'm choking!
Falling into a seizure
Darling, would you quit your moaning?
A midnight *****, all too eager

Mommy! Mommy! I'm bleeding!
The sound of terrified weeping
Sweetheart, all you need is some sleep.
Gone too high on amphetamines

Mommy! Mommy! I'm dying!
Skin starting to change color
Baby, lay down, stop your whining.
Forgetting to be a mother.
