Stop The Laughing


The constant cackling. Absolute silence in this place is lacking. Annoying laughter. Never living in harmony everafter. It's quiet time when I write & read. A creative outlook arrange words I need. To record a thought on paper. Like my sister & how a molestor raped her. Or about deception or lack of trust. Or of happiness, joy, & devotion. A witch's hex in a mystical potion. How crime touched our lives & ruined our childhoods & how the laughter bothers me in this neighborhood. Even though laughing is good. Sometimes I don't feel it even though I should. My mind suffers bad memories. Of parolled sex offenders with felonies. Sometimes it can be rude. Blunt & evil invades & intrudes. I write & speak the whole truth. From the past to my roots. People say I have a way with words. I never leave out a fact or something I heard. © Harmony Sapphire . All rights reserved
