Poems from Hann_Lizzy
This is what you've done to me.
You started to teach me as a child,
In rooms of bright colors and toys,
Rooms that smelled of crayons and...
It's odd, what I remember. Sometimes the memories are so sharp and clear that I'm there and I know the color of the shirt I was wearing...
I step inside.
Yipping, barking, whining, kennels rattling, claws clicking, tongues licking,
White, tan, black, brown, tall, short, long,...
You suck in your gut and slap on a smile,
You self confidence melts for a while,
Peoples' eyes and their thoughts so cruel,
Regardless of...
Hunger.
Gnawing hunger.
Fear.
Overwhelming fear.
Exhaustion.
Dead exhaustion.
She wanders waits wonders walks
wishes.
Fog.
Dulls hunger...
