Unkept flame

Sitting here, side gaze

Spoken words, false hopes- lead astray

Tele broke- busted in his storm,

hide it- the unkept flame

Discord in voice text, pity me

World on my shoulders

Chosen, "I got it, little baby"

Stretched, torn open- not just your boulder

Toys, books, clothes

Diapers, baby food, then pulls ups

Food to cook on stove

Bare necessities-  bar low

Battle worse, oh, so worse

How could I know?

Lullaby, spoon on floor,  ride-a-horse

Go to sleep, on my own

Wearing many hats

Mama, sister, friend, auntie

Queen of who? Where's that?

Oh, yeah- your dreams. Fast asleep.

Open shut, smoke drifting out

Tried glass, tried paper, water, brick house

Blasting, fire raging, gone away

Like burnt matter in the unkept flame
