Aint no good time but these

[sonofthesun]

I grew up here
in the weeds
in my bed with the snakes
i did not cry
kept the rats at bay
it is how i still live

[creativesoul]

I was not quite human
An animal a beast
No one could love me
I partied and ate at feasts
Returning with belly full
I caught sight of myself in a pool of water

I did not know I was not a beast
I guess it was all an illusion
That crazy insane savage
Untamed by the love of another
Wild and raw with broken fingernails
Green eyes and blonde hair
Now almost gray

The tightness in her chest
Unable to breathe
Afraid of alone
She crept out
