Secrets

There are secrets in this house that
you do not know
There's a room that has always remained bare
There are screams in the hallways
that do not reach your ears
You will leave and not know this truth.

For a Friend



This is for a dear friend for her birthday on October 28.

Steel-lined
halo, a pillar
enduring, evolving
in many ways, a contrast
lace
and denim jeans.

Rich Girl, Slave Girl

They say I'm rich
I have everything I want
I have the looks, I glitter, I shine
People look at me and they
see the glamour and the beauty
The signature jeans
designer makeup, custom-made things
They do not see
I'm put together
An image to fit the mold
I'm rich but I'm not free
I'm a slave girl
