Clickety clack, clickety clack go the perfect white plastic teeth as they clip together Reality bites like a pair of comedy dentures sprung from the pocket of a sad faced clown Look again; are they plastic? Or are they waterloo teeth plucked from the warm corpse of a cold friend Either way they are far too close to my face for this to be funny. For redemption he squeezes his droopy flower between finger and thumb But to no avail.....The comedy squirt is missing; it is as dry as the tears on his powder white cheek Squeak, squeak, squeak goes the wheel on his unicycle as he painfully pedals away But it is not he that failed you....No it is those that stole the part of you that used to be easily pleased Like thieves in the night, feasting on your happiness and enjoying the thought of wonderful you falling from your erroneously perceived perch Well let them take their pound of flesh, if they can rejoice in my pain it will only erode them from the inside out I renounce such bitterness because before long I will find me again, I will be stronger and better I will take flight and alight a pedestal far higher than the one they imagined I thought I was on
“Just words!” screams that child in my soul...Actions are stifled like the image of a five year old you with a cloth clasped to the face; breathing on the anaesthetic evil of life. You want to help but you can only see him through the one way glass of time, what is done is done and can only be undone through reliving this terror and fixing the damage His struggle is short lived and the monsters descend, dragging him by a foot naked and bruised, head banging the contours of this corridor of depravity He cannot hear your screams but his fill your ears like the blood of a million paper cuts, not one measured but together a pain like no other Where was his saviour? Or was he always considered as a low risk category a misconception of strength and need Was his ***, the white of his skin, the bread on his table, the money in his mothers pocket and the education he received render him ineligible for salvation In short...“Yes”...he was expected to save himself and learn to save others...Those less fortunate. Little do they know in some ways, once you’ve scratched the surface, they were far luckier Their vices were less harmful than his own devices, as a little knowledge is dangerous With great power comes great responsibility but some can be responsible for others without learning to take care of themselves.
