What Does a Temper Look Like?











I saw my tiny body lying
On the blood soaked bed....
Mommy screamed and cried for me,
"Wake up", then....
I saw her kiss my hurt little head....

"I didn't mean to do it!"
She sobbed and said to God....
"Please don't take my child from me,
I promise, I can make it stop!"

I didn't mind mommy fast enough...
Picking up my toys,
I made her lose her temper again, plus,
She said I make too much noise....

I said I'll help you find it mommy,
What does a temper look like?
It was too late to help her though,
Mommy went insanely wild!

I was only three years old
When my mommy made me die...
Jesus took me in His arms
And carried my soul away....
The only thing that makes me sad,
Although I never cry....
I didn't get a chance that day
To kiss my beautiful
Mommy goodbye!

Eggshell Boards











Quiet girl born in a very loud world
Tip toed gently on eggshell boards
While others stomped across titanium floors...

Never spoke out of turn,
She was barely ever heard...
Disappearing inside her head
Where she lived a perfect fantasy...

“Do as you’re told, not as we do,
Don’t forget little one...
Obey us, or the devil
Will come after you”!

Quickly she learns,
Intuitively knows
The ones who brought her here
Were deeply wounded souls!

Passing their toxic psyche
Through angry damaged blood,
Forcing their madness
Instead of giving absolute love....

Little girl is a woman now,
Standing up and still falling down,
One thing she knows for sure,
She’ll never again have to walk
Across eggshell boards!
