Its all happening so fast
Like teacups and bears, like monkeys and strawberries
Too fast.
Scrambled; like eggs, or brains, or television transmissions.
She feels so inadequate
So young, and childish, and nave, and scared.
Pulses escalate: the beeping on the monitor is so rapid.
Call her chicken
Bawk-bawk here, bawk-bawk there
She just cant change the way she is.
Here a bawk, there a bawk
Is she better or worse when she is alone?
A.
L.
O.
N.
E
(i. e. i. o. Everywhere a bawk-bawk!)
She did nothing wrong, yet there is guilt.
Its building up within her chest struggling against
The affection shes stored there.
Overwhelmed, or underwhelmed?
Over? Under? Over? Under?
Rain and thunder.
Like tears and heartbeats salty and faded.
Dont take more than she is ready to give, my boy.
Shes still healing out the stitches;
Repairing the freshest scars
Something to always remember you by.
We all love, in time
Like marching bands and synchronized swimmers.
Just pray she doesnt drown, first.

Interesting work! Perhaps a little more abstract than I like, but vivid not one bit the less. Well done.

| It does not seem like a rap. It does not have that hard edge that rap normally has. It is a good write for someone dealing with their heart though. |
