A Daily Routine

I make the bed after getting up
I make my breakfast 'til I've eaten enough.
I clean the dishes and then bathe
Make sure to get to school without coming in late.
That's my morning routine.

I get back home and do wash the clothes
I water the plants with the garden hose
I make my dinner and then hang the clothes to dry
That's my afternoon routine.

I wash more dishes after eating my fill
I clean up the house but I'm not finished still.
I wash mom and dad's room oh it's so filthy!
Then I go to bed. Nighty, nighty!
That's my evening routine.

Days have gone and nights have passed
I do them again and again but alas
I can't keep up with these daily events
I think I'll break my routine.

I cut off their hands, I cut of their heads
I cut of all limbs and take them off the bed.
I chop them up to bits and pieces.
That's today's morning routine.

I clean their room and wash away the blood
Removing the maggots on their bedroom is tough.
I make sure everything smells better than before.
That's the afternoon routine.

I bury them in the yard with none the wiser
I put up some plants and grew pretty flowers
Soon enough the house is clean.
That's the evening routine.

Now I'm alone but it's all just fine
It's all disappearing, the past brutal signs
The bruises and cuts I've tried to hide
in my past morning routines.

People get curious and furious I knew
When they'd realized I'm alone now boo hoo
"Where's your parents oh little one?"
They've gone and they left me. I needed someone.
They took me away, to a far off place
where people are nice and it was a safe space.
For years I'd grow accustomed to a brand new life
And have a brand new routine.

But secrets can't be kept forever and ever
as much as I want things to get better.
They'd found the dead bodies and pieces things all together
Now I have no choice but to end all the matter.

I killed not one, not two, not three
Because they are all threatening me.
No place to hide no place to go
I disappeared forever in the end where no one know.
And that ends my daily routine.
