Mother Sun, Father Moon (inspired by Sylvia Plath)
your little girl, like Mona Lisa never smiled
still you breathed me to life
i was undeserving, given center stage
while a hidden pain lay until exposed
i fell off the edge, not back to earth
a sanitarium waited, i lived till i died
-you both have yourselves to blame
