Waiting

Waiting, still in a chair
waiting, looking through the window watching clouds dance in the air
For only the ticking of the clock can be heard
As nothing else can seem to be stirred.
Waiting for that door to open, for the people in the white coats to appear.
for some think they are needed, sometimes they are feared.

The people in the room are either small or tall
some are here for their own troubles, some none at all.
For waiting can be a game, sometimes a chore
but if you have something to ponder, it cannot be a bore.
After waiting some time, they call my name
for waiting, can be both a horror or a game.

  • Your Words

    Your words, so sweet and so nice
    Your words, we would play and scamper like mice.
    We would play dinosaurs or horses, and could you believe,
    that I would go to the grave of our friendship and grieve.

  • Dolls

    Dolls, who you dress up in pink and white, 

    dolls, who you take to the park or on a flight, 

    dolls, who are made of plastic and cloth, 

    they are always so girly, never unique or even goth.

  • My World

    My world, was full of happiness and bright

    my world, comforting from daylight to night.

    my world, seeing animals ripping people into bloody tears,

    I know now that they shouldn't be my biggest fears.
