torn


Have you ever been
stuck 

between now

and what happens

next

you’re just spinning 
your 
wheels

in your own
 private 
Levittown 

space

everything is so

safe

everyone’s
 
predictably the

same

if you could just

leave

you wouldn’t 

care about so much

pain

waiting for the boss

this is the story of a girl who lived in the basement of the girl next door sheltered in the confines of a  suburban tract house dungeon; her punishment for runnin' wild with dreams half unlatched she ran like a spirit in the night from those badlands wind blowin' through her hair shielding her eyes from the blinding light she hugged onto a shoreline of hope someday soon, she's not sure when her savior will rise up from the streets with an armload of rain soaked roses and second chances Rene ~ 2010 Click  Here   to join Magpie Tales creative writing group .
