I keep my mind on
even when my eyes
are closed tightly
Bright thoughts
tickle my ears
politely

I wake up
On the write side
of the bed

An easy reach
for a pen and pad

I thank my mom
Hate my dad

Wicked King
Lovely Queen
raising a pawn
once upon
into a man
No castle
at hand

up
down

left
write
in
my head

Bills
Monthly
The word rent
says it all

Struggling rent
Bills to wrench
Juggling water
with elecricity
at the same time

Daaaaynjaaaaaah!

Father?
Where was
that king?
(dad?)

I look back now
and see how far
I have come
to shine

Sitting here
Alone

Still alone
In my prime

zzz

Wonderful write, Jason

very nice Jason
