The Secret in Knowing

By beautifulworld

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I know they found out Their heavily guarded eyes overflow with power The power that comes with knowing 'Check her!', they order 'We know what she has been doing.' Crying is the only thing I can do But no tears will come They rip at me, tear at me SHE stands over me SHE holds a bat 'What has my little girl been getting into today?' That horrible sticky sweet smile that resides on her face, it makes me sick SHE is the enemy for which there is no artilliary in the world SHE is the one who knows And I, I can only run away for so long Written January 6th, 2002 © on Jan 06 2002 05:47 AM PST   10 • 0
