Vacant

there is nothing left, the shelves are bare

there are only cobwebs and dust in here 

the lights have dimmed from within 

no one is welcome here again 

Where I Belong

Coming into my life

bringing rages of color and sound,

And then when it is inconvenient 

my wonder is thrown upon the ground. 

I am special so very special

Once it must have been so,

And now I am just captured space 

whose value you will forego. 

Taming The Beast

Taming the Beast

Thoughts weighed heavily

and have for a long time,

threatening to reveal to all

the shame that was mine.

It lay hidden for years

dormant in a dark place,

untouched but still alive

it's hot breath leaving no trace.
