All the colours that you hide

you don't lie to me
and for all of your poison
I enjoy your company 
all the colours that you hide 
behind
your mouth 
like poetry

.....

when I was small

long long before I knew you
I knew how to stand tall
I knew how to breathe without you

and I spoke to the dead 

before I learned how to fear them

they sat with me on my bed 

watched me as I slept and

I felt safe and sound
A leader with my confidence,
I cut the evil down 

with a sword of common sense and
I took care of things 

I loved with all my heart
What happened to these things? 

It's like I woke up in my future
