As I open the door
I see the Head fueling
His anger with more,

And the Legs flailing
To give her beasts
Their three course meal.

And as they feast
The Body comes to steal
Reality from those

Who are unaware
The door is now closed
With not a soul to care.

In this pit of turmoil
The Arms fight for escape
The House of the Gargoyle,

It was never too late.
I was not a fan of living at my father's (After being treated poorly and thrown out) with his anger problems, his wife, her four dogs, and four cats. It was a zoo, and they were the main event. In this poem with no background history I have given each member a symbol. My father being the Head of the household, his wife being the Legs (she was obsessed with running as well as her pets who, before I had a job, were fed twice as better as I), my grandmother (If you knew the kind of person she was you'd understand, watch Supernatural. She is a demon. To the unaware she appears normal and harmless, however looks can be deceiving) being the Body, or heart and soul, of the operation, and lastly myself being the Arms; the fists.
