MPA

She runs back and forth
Both doors are locked
Suffocating
Sit down
Count to ten
She thinks of times
Of candy and giftwrap
Breathe
Remember needing nothing
Get up
Make a brand new door
Kick until there's daylight
Breathe deep
Cold air
Die a little more inside
Repeat

Lexi's telescope just broke

She is a lizard
I see it now
All of those nights
I never knew how
They came from the stars
Kindly dropped her here
Sparkle and fade
They disappear
I wonder so often
Do they ever come back
Why did they visit
Will they return to attack
These worries are few
As the days go by
I often do question
I'm not gonna lie

rebirth

I wanna come back
As the perfect flame
Hot and useful
Without a name
I wanna come back
As a piece of glass
Softened by the sea
With a mysterious past
I wanna come back
As the pencil you hold
When you write out your thoughts
And your truths are all told
I wanna come back
As the cold, hard rain
Soaking the children
Laughing like the insane

Tiny mermaid giggles

Lil one surfaced
Sparkling and glittery
Wasn't sure for awhile
If she'd learn to even swim
She smiles carelessly
Like she never struggled a day
Lil mermaid laughs with everyone
As if she write all the jokes
Tiny comedian
Who lives for other's smiles
Always teaching us
How to overcome and thrive

Lil one's lullaby

I faced my journey
I refuse to stop
I will not explain
Or be what I'm not
My path leads away
New battles to fight
When context's explained
None of it's right
I taught her stand tall
Fight for what's fair
When they hurt your heart
Get up and repair
Walk proud like I taught you
Discover new ground
The world needs your spirit
It's the best I have ever found

Sam

They put him in a drawer
Right next to her
Our last words exchanged
Are all just a blur
It's hard to feel
You are here then you're gone
Time doesn't stop
Our show must go on
I like to remember
When we drew with pens
Where your life ended
Her new one begins

Candy, Caged Bird

I feel bad
Candycat
You tried your best
It's come to that
Sing your song
Again and again
You sang for
Our very last friends
Sad little bird
You are yet to see
All the things
That you can be

Little Honey

Just a girl named Honey
Look but please don't touch
Just a girl named Honey
Full of sugar, poison, and such
Gorgeous little mastermind
Your favorite disease
Gimme I will scrape your mind
Eat it with crackers and cheese
