Breadsticks Aren’t Meant To Be Broken

Tears streaming on demand

An injustice I can’t withstand

Joy stolen

Heart broken

Pained to the core

My breadstick is no more

Once whole now lost

Hopes and dreams tossed

Due to division

With precision

Physical separation

I cannot eat a thing that’s in two

Good thing I can cry on cue

I’ll give you my twopence

Where would be the sense

The point

They should be joint

I’m so offended

when will it stop

cries drown my heart with sorrow

Bitten

For no reason it seems

Followed by the sobbing

Those tears are throbbing

The fists are pounding

There’s no rebounding

Then the performance is over

Til the next time, moreover.

i’d think she meant to deafen them

and i hope she will

maybe they’ll listen more then...

The Puzzle

"Stop touching it!"


The child's screaming echoed through the house while her mother and father attempted to calm her down. She was sobbing. Her small hands pounded on the table where a small puzzle sat. It was almost finished, every piece was laid out or put together.


"Hunny, all your father was doing was helping you with your puzzle."


She screamed more. She didn't want help with her puzzle. Sh...
