Favorite Quote:
A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.
Robert Frost


You who stood before your father’s eyes
Shamed the name you took from him
Bellowing out the anger that flows
A silence, empty as his eyes that fight you

Shamed the name you took from him
There is no sorrow to feel, no feeling left to indulge him with,
A silence empty as his eyes envelope you
He is waiting for an answer, a quiver to strike

There is not sorrow to feel, no feeling left to indulge him,
He stares with fangs hypnotizing you and extracting
His is waiting for an answer, a sign to strike
Any movement and you’re gone

He stares with poisonous fangs, hypnotizing you and extracting
Cracks begin to break in the impenetrable shell
Any movement and you’re gone and broken
There is no atonement for this, no repentance

Cracks begin to break in the impenetrable shell
Dipped in liquid ice you glisten with crystals while the inferno burns
There is no atonement for this, no penance
Nothing to be down but shine under his gaze ensnaring you

Dipped in liquid ice you glisten with crystals while the inferno burns
Pulsating with anger; sludge like lava encasing you inside
Nothing to be down but shine under his gaze ensnaring you
You’ve done nothing wrong

Pulsating with anger; sludge like lava encasing you inside
The fiery heat thuds globbing and congealing
You’ve done nothing wrong
This blank innocence marred by previous demeanors

The fiery heat thuds globbing and congealing
This pointless injustice continues, prolonged
The blank innocence marred by previous demeanors
This beating, living heart like a filled sinus to break free

A pointless injustice continues, prolonged
Pain tears jaggedly down this fragile tissue
This beating living muscle yearns to make free
His terrible gaze asking you every question you don’t need to hear


Pain tears jaggedly down this fragile tissue
You already know all the answers
His terrible gaze asking you every question you don’t need to hear
Break free, run away, you need to get out

You already know all the answer
He doesn’t need to ask
Break free, run away you need to get out
Fly away from this

He doesn’t need to ask
There’s no reason to continue with this, you should be done
Fly away from this
Good Bye

There’s no reason to continue with this, you should be down
You stood before your father’s eyes
Good Bye
Bellowing out the anger that flows
