16.10.2013

when mamma played house

behind the white picket and brown door

tears paved the way

small and unsure of the worlds

i watched with curiosity, never understanding

you speak love words

what you aim to be

what you believe to be possible

your actions speak to your footing

what you really can do

who you really are

oh how hope messed mamma up

some day the disappointment will leave my words

got my own broken , testing the science

no wish for playing house

freedom and love for me, Amen
