birds sing
i’m high

i fly
new sky
no wings
I have long detected
a certain disconnection
which stands not to be corrected
CARElessness has wrecked it
On recent introspection
if parts could be collected
which being definitely hectic
would only be an ugly reflection
with those involved going apoplectic
An attempt at best, merely pathetic
still ending with a certain bloody dissection
In a voice cracked, he spoke
for he had something to say:
For years I’ve been walked over; stepped on by folks
I no longer wish to be treated this way
Pelting showers have worn me down
my once sparkling self has turned gray
I’m old now; tired, misshapen by my roots
parts of me hurt, and I’ve begun to decay
The daily, followed path of more than a few
steadfastly I held ground, as on their way they’d go
But now I’d just like to stretcth next to the road
feel the grass caress my side, while I lay low
So, this morning as you prepare to head out
planning a course for your business of the day
I beg you please, to stay off the beaten path
The road less travelled will take you on your way
Mirror girl
where’s your smile
teeth still bright
nothing to hide
Mirror girl
who are you
not a mute
but so subdued
Mirror girl
show your face
fears abate
scars do fade
Mirror girl
why sad eyes
seek the light
the glow inside
Mirror girl
walk away
see the gate
past makes way
Mirror girl
what’s this mood
take a look
an image imbued
Mirror girl
mirror girl
the mirror
is you
