So I sleep in the top bunk where they can’t reach me if I can. 

 Its safer there & its a place where I think upon it all.

Granted it makes me worry too much so I don’t sleep enough. 

So if they opened a factory & gave me a job, I’d be late if I had to work the first shift. If you looked for me you wouldn’t find me on my way there, but on another lil’ trip.  You would find me lost in a world of make believe fairies & pretend dragons I slay.  That’s where you’ll find me cuz that’s where I stay.

There’s a fire on my tongue when I speak of my mom

& my ego took a beating when my lips came loose through my fingertips & said “I love you”

to him & waited…. for a response…

….I should’ve sat still with my thoughts hemmed to the bottom underneath the layer of my skirt where my soul resides, but I never listen. Its not like I asked for very much, I only wanted him to touch me where my soul resides.
