the girl then recalled
parents looming large
quietly sinister
corrosively in charge
clown parade balloons
high on pride's LSD
punch drunk delusions
of Grandiosi-Tea
sarcasm IV drips
from mean emojis
garish caricatures
impossible to please
love was a blanket
held out then yanked away
knit to bind not warm
cat with mouse did play
never any words
explain way back when
no exit out of
her misery then
then is also now
a spiraling she goes
blinded by betrayal
only Amygdala knows
I'd love to share a
cheery thought or two
yet pie crust promises
simply will not do
airy and airless
broken by a breeze
pointless platitude
said with careless ease
bandaged over bleed
just to stem the flow
of mother nature tears
dressed only for show
feather pen laments
articulating pain
drawing scars as flowers
in healing refrain
no other way out
must pick up my pen
no more to do but
verse and verse again
