THE CLOSETA Poem by Evelynne Tionge
Its small and dark in here
I sit with my feet folded My heartbeat is all i hear In this perfect world i molded Im told the sun is the brightest of stars And the moon is but her daughter The stars bow down to her from their bars As they disguise their jelousy in laughter I hear the wind is the master of all nature And the leaves sing when he passes by The flowers dance for they know his measure And he carries the small when they die The world i know was unaccepting Its wind was blistering cold And the sun's heat was scorching It was for the normal and bold It made me feel alone An outcast whose kind did not belong I was mowing someone else's lawn And if i stayed i would not last long Its darkness could not be brightened by stars On its grounds like a blind folded drunk i stumbled My skin is covered in scars For like grass i was trampled In this closet i am safe by myself Away from the world's maze I sit on the bottom most shelf While its memories fade through the thin haze © 2013 Evelynne Tionge |
