How Many Black Eyes?
Didn’t you
know you were pretty?
Didn’t you
know you were smart?
Didn’t you
know why the boys picked on you?
Did you know
you were always the fastest?
Did you see
how high you could jump?
Could you
make any rainy day brighter with just one story?
Did you love
to dance?
Could you
twirl a baton?
Could you
make me laugh?
Could you
win a spelling bee?
Did you find
a good man?
Could you
play hard to get?
Are your
scars inside or out?
Can you know
every trick and never get it right?
Do you feel
safest in the dark?
Can you
shine like a star all the time, or never?
You asked me
to hit you my sister.
Why laugh
when it hurts?
I have never
had one black eye.
Woman why
can’t you control your demons?
Who are you
listening to?
You are
weird, stupid and crazy. and you can never "hear" any better.
“GET OUT OF
HERE YOU STUPID GIRL. YOU WONT STOP
TALKING ABOUT YOUR EX HUSBAND YOU ARE NOT MY FRIEND.” She said.
Sober.
Didn’t you
know you had angel armies?
Didn’t you
know you were a warrior princess?
Didn’t you
know that every tear and cut is washed for trade in heaven?
Didn’t you
know you were the toughest in spirit?
No, because
you look weak to those who won’t understand.
I laughed
with you my sister.
Your beauty
amazes me.
Enough is
enough when it is enough.
You have
always been beautiful in heaven.
I desire to
see you there when my life mission is complete.
Free from
chains of demons.
At rest and
complete.
No more war.
Battle won.
Victory.
