"stepchild" poems
could someone please tell me of the moons intentions and of their affair with Jupiter's rings when lo and behold Io has a fire in her belly snowy volcanic fields burning ice in her spring Europa stands by displaying cold shoulders with oceans below life she does bring brother Ganymede pulls it together dark are his regions light his terrain beaten and battered Callisto the stepchild unchanged in its matter and the song that it sings is this all true of Jupiter's moons and of their intentions could someone tell me

The Outlier
The beast cobbler somber suited to putrid minions, And picked apart the whiskers of death and scribed a diction, "He hath no fury than an arcade weapon scorn" Tis I blasted through virtual vitriol levels with life unborn, Licking the literature scriptures and propagandizing dilemma, I trained Cerberus into a vicious ************ Biting heathens with the molars demons fear to run from, Too **** farmer to sail away from my problems, I reaped too many seeds to bleed, So all your fuming won't do absolute **** to me, I'm a dark stepchild of instability and fertility, Shallow stocking delinquent seeking fire with an angel match cracking humility, I'm a typhoon buffoon with Hanna-Babara tendencies, **** with me and get a lethal dose of dynamite and Trojan Horse remedies,

Suffocated Goat Bologna Soup
I found no comfort Cradled in Mother’s arms And I never believed Father Could protect me from all harm… So I should have seen it coming A world without love Empty of compassion, void of mercy False faith in gods above… Faceless now, nowhere now Is my loveless yesteryears Abandoned as the stepchild Who pretends to disappear… I found no comfort in Studying ancient words It all adds up to trusting in Stories so absurd… So take me now, wash me now There’s nowhere now for these pieces that won’t fit Force a square peg of logic in a round hole of superstition And brokenness is what you’ll get…

SQUARE PEGS
A stepmother's love is pure and true For her stepchild, she cares anew She may not have birthed this little one But in her heart, she's already won She cherishes each moment spent Hoping to make a permanent dent In this little one's heart and soul She longs for a bond that's whole. But the mother's lies are hard to bear She tries to turn the child's love elsewhere Her manipulation and deceitful ways Make the stepmother's heart ablaze. She wants to scream and shout aloud And tell the child, her love is profound But she holds back, knowing the damage done By the mother, her battle is just begun. For the only one who it's hurting is the child, Innocent and fragile, yet so easily beguiled. The stepmother continues to love and care Her stepchild's heart, she'll never snare For her love is honest and pure And in time, the child will find the cure The cure to heal the wounds of deceit To understand the love she tried to beat And in the end, the stepmother will win For her love was stronger than the mother's sin.

Her Love Conquered the Mother's Sin: A Stepmother's Tale
Shooting a premature dream Within diapers, Never stressingout, But I remember feeling, Left behind like a stepchild Thy were not feeling me then But I'm a threat now to thee Right afterwards feeling like Kratos Now stand up tall and fe/male up.

Abide...
time takes out it's loaded gun shoots holes in us for fun daring us to try and run time knows the game and plays it well watches from the side or there about has us play against ourselves time laughs at you in your shame takes delight in giving pain whispers to the passing wind, your name time is the wicked stepchild the mad dog running wild the haunt in the midnight howl time takes what you offer, gives back no change feels that it must rearrange places on you all the blame time holds tight to lost memory takes it's que from history spits on you before it leaves time draws on another cigarette exhales the stench of death till up in smoke is all that's left

time
I’m so alone No ones home I am afraid Of better days No one is home I am so alone I am afraid Afraid of today No one is here To steer me clear Straight out of here This hole that I’ve been living in I cannot seem To help myself I haven’t been Been in the best mental health I fell down that rabbit hole! I don’t know what to think no more! I tell you I am afraid My world is straight drawn out upside down I don’t know how to live my life now Our town has driven me dead and insane I want to dance and sing And scream at these walls My anxiety has shook me up No words come out I ask for help But who? To where? I’m scared I’m scared I don’t know how I got here anyways! I can’t even begin to tell you what I went through It’s dark and dreary blue My curiousness and confidence almost killed me Or maybe it was my insecurities I’m no doctor I don’t know what it is All I know is what I’m feeling I just can’t seem to shake these bad feelings I wonder if Alice always felt spiders crawling up on down her back I only know that I tried to **** myself after that tea party Ribbon noose, I’ve been blindfolded by smoke ever since It didn’t have to be this way I know hearts are hard to change The thought of your existence makes me want to throw up I always get these bad feelings whenever you’re around I cannot seem to get over the impossibilities of empathy and reality Sitting here wasting away Done with today dreading tomorrow Can I ever get out of this place? Can I make it out alive? This doesn’t even feel like I’m living anymore This ain’t even surviving I’m barely afloat I’ve lost myself Where am I? It’s the same old game Let’s play the pity party of death reapers We’re begging for the end Begging for some kind of new beginning This kind always flies by too fast Can’t make the good times last Fast forward to the ***** Yesterday’s honeymoon was never meant to last This life is the ugly stepchild of Garden’s Eve Meeting a snake is all I ask Just gotta get right out of here

Rabbit Hole

The acquisition of a son With an adequate corporeality, albeit with certain caveats, Certain limitations in terms of progeny and posterity, Had awaken something in the old man, Certain forces leading him to the altar And, subsequently, to the nursery once more (A second son, brought to bear in the established manner. With a minimum of drama and fanfare.) The child was loved, in a rudimentary fashion; While his flesh-and-blood bona fides were beyond question, He was a consumer, a thing of constant need More akin to a hardship than his celebrated half-sibling, Whose command of the spotlight Served as a gravitational pull for parental affections. The old man passed on after a spell, Hanging on long enough for his second son To stumble onto the precipice of adulthood (His mother had hot-footed it out Almost immediately after the burial, Choosing to stage-mother her feted stepchild) Though his fatherly wisdom Was limited to matters of his craft, his business, Which was left to the young man, though grudgingly at that, As a sop, a means of getting shet of two unwanted encumbrances. He’d proved to have much of the old man’s gift, Whittling and carving puppets and toys and dolls (Though with a certain grim fury making it evident to all That the work was not a labor of love) Rarely stopping to speak to or even acknowledge his clientele, Except if one of them happened to repeat the time-worn chestnut That the toy chooses the child, in which case he laughed harshly, All but barking *It’s the purse that closes the deal, not the **** And then he would return to carving some doll or marionette, Which would always seem to have a certain wan look Around the corners of the eyes, the edge of the lips, The look of a child’s toy equipped with the foreknowledge That it was destined for the back of some closet shelf, The bottom of some attic-bound chest.
