it did not pan out
as you envisioned, not an a-,
not even a d: it is worse.
random, chaos, no more rules,
it is not freedom when
it cuts - did mom and dad protect you too much?
, bleeds, forgotten, erased, a parachute
floating
, no where. where is here when
i thought i had already reached
this a+, promises broken, finger crossed
this is how it is when stones
shatter, mirages disperses, mirrors crack
and they say this is what it means
to give hope, give resilience, give sturdiness,
increase the pressure little by little: then
poof!
fairy tales take life, fairies wander out of books,
don't always believe me!
it hurts, this grand illusion descending,
forgotten promises, trust, obedience, rules
broken without consequences,
and it isn't freedom: just a nightmare
of what else is there to come?
and a saint boils, a hell fiend gives birth to angel wings,
flies across heavens.
untouched by brimstone and fire: why?
i can answer the how,
the why not so much,
erased, those rules meant to keep one safe
don't work. no float around,
just me in deep waters, in a world that sees parents
with a knowing eye. nothing changes, just two people passing on,
like it really is, drowning,
the drowning sea: a greenish color
i am not able to puke out.
