Dance NakedA Poem by SjoMCI was a very good kid, I regret that some.I want to dance naked unholy and wild I want to free my burdened child So much I did not do So much i left forbidden Now what is it? Only a earning hidden Was is evil then or only humanies taboo languish that I was a good child so good so responsible so well spoken every lie you wanted to hear i said them all such trouble such struggle to make them true as a child can But I lied in the best of ways the ways that make parents teachers and preachers swoon Of course I never wanted to be bad, of course I never wanted to neglect my responsibility of course I knew what was expected and Of course I never wanted to faultier halter tac and torn my will was shorn as soon as i was born if only i knew that when i was older there would be no room for wistfulness if only i knew how much i'd have to know and hold together maybe i'd have waited longer to take on a heavy load. And now in the waining of my youthful youth I cry to the heaven and stars, Oh no I can't grow up now I barley was a child as a child Unreputable i'll have to be. Maturity, and being dignified i've applied and and tried and carefully tended and well the fruit was sour. Who cares about them? Society I suppose but she was always mean to me and mine so she can go eat crackers in a corner. © 2016 SjoMC |
