Shy

Tye is real sweet and shy

won’t even hurt a fly

but one day a boy named Ry

told her a lie that made her cry

now nobody knows where his body lies

but I think it has nothing to do

with that girl named Tye

for she is so sweet

won’t even hurt a fly

 

 

The Basement

Today I woke to chains around my little ankles and arms.

As much as I wanted to pry myself loose, I didn’t for I was aware of the terrifying clamor I would have caused.

Instead I cradle myself for comfort; I am my own company.

And I listen above to her heavy footsteps shake the wooden floor.

Her sporadic paces match her sporadic mind.

But I think she may have guilt on her shoulders, so I will wait for her to let me loose.

In the meantime don’t mind if I take a little nap as I dream of my mother setting me free.

Hush little baby don’t say a word. Let you forever be unheard…

My Soul Wants Out of My Body

I think my soul wants out of my body to another world.
A dark world that offers nothing but misery and distress.
I like to call it the opposite of possession.
How to stop it, I do not know.
All I know is that I’m not going.
For I’ve been there before, and I did not like what I saw.
I hopelessly roamed through a pitch-black tunnel; the home to fiendish treasures.
And I only managed to escape by revealing one of my very own despicable secrets.
But that was a very bad idea for I think my soul wants out of my body, never to return.
