    My child, my lovely child
    dont let them bring you down
    dont let them swallow you
    because they will take your soul
    they will make you cry
    they will hit you till you bruise
    dont let them

    dont cut.

    Oh my child, my pitiful child
    dont let it all go like this
    dont let it gush into that porcelein hell
    because it is your life you see
    flowing away like a waterfall
    then they have won the games they play
    dont let them win

    dont bleed.

    oh my child, my whisper now
    dont let it stop beating
    God! dont let it stop beating
    because we did all we could
    they tried to take her away
    her soul is faded, her skin is pale
    dont take her now

    just breathe.

    oh my child, my silenced one
    dont lie so still
    dont speak so low
    because we couldnt make it
    your voice so soft
    is almost just a thought
    or maybe it was all along...

    just sleep.





    Im feeling somewhat conflicted tonight. On one hand i am glad my creative juices are still flowing well, god, ive been writing so much lately. But on the other hand i realize my writings are not exactly any love sonnets or the like. It seems the only fodder for my creative fire is the buffet table of shit ive been dealing with lately. It can put one into a bit of a depressed state when you look back through your writings of the past weeks only to reflect the same gloomy color everything else has been tinted with lately. Ah well, write what you feel, i suppose. Hopefully soon things will regain some of their former liveliness around here.
