Leave the bunny at home. I asked for the trusted Red Ryder BB GUN. “But you’ll shoot your eye out.” Nostalgia playing the dream on repeat. We choose guns as dreams. Our society fails to protect. Gun lobbying is prevalent. Who owns our politicians? Wear your badge of courage. New prompt. None needed. Tell Em to provide backup.

Oh dear boy

Looking at every candy and every new toy

If only you knew the truth

That the earning of money was as easy as

losing a tooth

I cannot give you all you desire

But my love for you will never tire

Listen to me my son

Possessions do not equal fun

Greed is run by this earth

The devil takes a hold of children with his girth

Of whom was once innocent can be seen sinning

Parents...

I don't understand it

They are just toys

But some are for girls

and some are for boys

I don't understand it

I just want to know

What it would be like

In my own little home

We talked about colours

And I prefer pink

They thought I was joking

But that's what I think

I don't like big fights

I don't like trucks and cars

I like pretty fairytales

And cute popstars

I wish I could like what I want with...

I might look young, but i think i’m old enough.

i’ll talk like a grown lady,

to fight for what i want.

listen to me mom…

for the past 6 years of my life i’ve played barbies and dolls.

There are certain memories about you with me.

All i remeber is you yelling and saying,

“kid, what is this mess!,

clean! clean! clean!”

or maybe it’s the,

“when are you gonna listen!

you are just like your fathe...

Just give me a moment

to catch your eye and grin.

‘Cause connection is the first component

in love, isn’t it?

You say a few words

and a blush spreads along my skin.

You bring all the nerves

and the butterflies rush again.

I laugh at your bad jokes,

because every syllable draws me in.

And every part of me hopes

that _we_ could be a win-win.

I may have fallen,

oh-so-far.

So take caution,

you make...

Still staring up at the shelf

there it is, the only thing you want

your eyes lit up

your mother grabs your hand softly

and tugs you away

you try to go back...

No, you cannot

Add ice cream to the cart

I will not buy a gallon of pop tarts

Or chips that taste like lemonade

I feel bad for who ever paid for those!

Instead I’ll buy you vegetables

That do not cook until they’re told

Strange as it may seem,

they have their own team!...

Dear Santa,

My big brother

He’s all grown up

Off to school he goes

Leaving me home

If only I could come

I could learn too

He could teach me

All there is to know

But I can’t

He says

There are no

Small kids there

It is all

Tall kids

We spent the summer days

Together

And now he

Has to go

Leaving me all alone

And the tickle monster

Is never

Ever

Ever

Around anymore

All I want

Is to hear his...

clasping her hands

the child prayed

not for peace or love

but for something only a child would seem to want

desperately, hungrily

before the world caves in and the child wants something less

imagining the crisp water and the splash of its waves

she begged,

dear god

hallow be thy name

please give me a pool

it would be so cool...

...
