Poems
Apr 2012
eight.
Sometimes, when bad thoughts plauge my mind at night
I shake my head
in a rapid succession of movement
my attempts to empty the excess
Every night of my childhood
I made a Vegas worthy deal with my father
He took my worries at night
and I took his
He claimed us the biggest worriers on the earth
Dubbed me queen of the Worry Wells before
carefully placing a kiss on my forehead
You see, forehead kisses
were my fathers attempt
to **** out the unseen youthful damage
of a brain constantly panicked with worry
Every night of my childhood
my father left me with his suitcase of fears
I was always too worried to open it
