Bent

Have you ever seen the
bones sticking out of your
face and wondered just what
you would look like if you were

massacred, tried too many times,
til you new it was your last chance,
just to be, just to breathe in the waters
you were born, if you don't get it right,
left leg chopped, right hand bent, Bent,
been waiting since yesterday for tomorrow
and I still don't see the value in today, I'm
guessing when the chapter ends, testing
the limits, testing time I've been spinning
a red and yellow top, jumping on unstable
wire, waiting to be a little better, or to be
enough I'm under the water and over the
moon, I'm in the corner with my scalp
torn I'm waiting for the fire to stop
burning in my lungs, wanting to
be noticed, I suppose I'm a

trinket with too many
words to stay oh I
hate the way it
sounds, it
won't
shut up Mommy,
make it stop, I'm about
to tear up Mommy, why
did you live to become
a Mommy, Mommy
why did you make
me if you knew
how life was?
