refugeeA Poem by Tenten
Refuge in paper covered walls Refuge in broken doors Refuge in a torn mattress Refuge in a torn blanket Refuge in this little room Barely ten feet from you When I walk out that door I’ll put on a façade, a mask I’ll wear another lie Pretend that I am happy being with you I’ll become another dismissed child I’ll become that person you pretend is real Refuge in paper covered walls Refuge in broken doors Refuge in a torn mattress Refuge in a torn blanket Refuge in this little room Barely ten feet from you There are bare points on the wall Where my pictures use to hang You got rid of me that moment I walked Out that door past the broken gate Out of your financial pocket book Out of your dreams of a perfect life No refuge in paper covered walls No refuge in broken doors No refuge in a torn mattress No refuge in a torn blanket No refuge in this little room Barely ten feet from you © 2008 TentenAuthor's Note
