"adrianna" poems
There is little here
in this sun-scaped city
to press a frown onto my face.
I feel free
I've lost ten pounds
my skin is smooth
I bought new fashionable clothes
and I laugh more than ever before,
and that is what people see,
will amber annex buster dani skyla rashid duane kiki chase adrianna
all these new people
who laugh at my funny name
only see this happy smiling girl
who is kind and quick to help
and make jokes
and dance
and offer advice
and yet despite the freedom I feel
it comes with equal parts guilt.
have I ever smiled so much before?
The me people meet now is so new to me
it feels like a lie
it's nice of you to ask me on a date
but how could I tell you the horrors of my past?
with all this smiling
you'd never believe the years of frowns and tears
no one would think to look for the lines where you can see my burn scars
they wouldn't look at my differently
when I trace old bruises
they don't think
to be careful when touching me
they don't have a clue
and it's all I've ever wanted
to have people think nothing is wrong
for me to be like the other girls,
but now that that's what people see,
my smiles though real
make me feel like I'm lying to everyone around me.

I remember a long time ago i was a little girl
You and mommy i looked up to yall was my world
The things you did back then i didn't understand
But im older i get it now im here to be a helping hand
You promised me you would give it up and you did
I loved you for that i looked up to you as a kid
Daddy why go so many steps back when you came so far
you overcome so much you almost conquered it all
Daddy why would you let drugs get ya joy
this is not no game they are not a toy
Daddy why give it all up so far in the game
I look in your eyes nothing is the same
your too strong to let this get u down
Since i found out i just pray so you will come around
you got through it once i know you can do it again
I know how you feel but daddy this not the end
I'm sorry for not being the son u wanted to have
But i know some parts of our lives together i made you glad
I want to blame myself but i just cant
You taught me weakness never win over a man
Daddy Why are you doing this to yourself
You never hurt you if necessary you hurt some one else
Daddy why you still have Adrianna to raise
Please just take it day by day
Daddy why would you let those that mocked you be right
Promise me this battle of life you will fight
I am here for you no matter what
I wont let you see my pain i will be tough
You make me wanna fight and at times cry
I love you no matter what but i just want to know
DADDY WHY?

The final sounds of trumpets fade
in the wake of Horsemen's hooves
after the day of Resurrection,
making way for Adrianna & Edgar.
The last woman & man.
Only this time,
Lucifer made man
from the skin on the bottom
of woman's feet.
She could not decide
whether that meant she was
allowed to tread on him or not.
Instead of creation,
in seven days there was destruction.
The earth tore and buildings crumbled,
leaving spindle arms
like the branches of so many fleshy trees
sticking out of the rubble.
Adrianna pauses here & wonders
if she should imitate the gesture,
throw her palms to the sky
and wave at the shadows of dying sun.

So this is all now
I can see her
I can see her in her grace
And Adrianna, I won't let you slip away.
You're holy water
You're the land that's left unstained
You're Adrianna
Watching the sun on rainy days.
So this is you now
You are love and you are pain
You're painted red here
Painted red all but your face
And Adrianna, you are my sun on rainy days.
You're holy water
You're the land that's left unstained
You're Adrianna
And I won't let you slip away.
So this is me now
Here I am in all my age
Here I stand now
And Adrianna, I will beg for you to stay.
You're holy water
You're the land that's left unstained
You're Adrianna
Watching the sun on rainy days.
So this is all now
Watching as you slip away
And I here I am now
And Adrianna, oh please won't you stay.
Because you're holy water
You're the land that's left unstained
You're Adrianna
And Adrianna won't you stay?
Adrianna, oh Adrianna, Adrianna, Adrianna, won't you stay?
Adrianna, Adrianna, you are my sun on rainy days.
