Don't Lose Your Head

I was standing
(You were there)
Then I fell down

there was no reason
to have fallen

except there was
a snap


I broke my leg
I was standing
then I fell

no one could fathom
how taking one step
could shatter me into pieces

(don't lose your head
it is ok if you die)


the doctor said I would break
bones the rest of my life

17 so far

I might never forgive
a broken promise

(my mother said:
"You never did know
when to shut your mouth")

Like father
like daughter

my aunt told me
he killed himself
to spite me

My Father was both
David and Goliath
