Food4thought: "Broken Son(g or net?)"


Broken Son(g or net?)
It is toxically suffocating
To be left in silence, utterly alone;
Those brutal scenes come rushing back to me,
A cruel reminder of my greatest loss;
To be told of how you fell once before,
To open that half-healed wound again,
Only to be shoved back into that argument:
The voices clashing in sharp dissonance
Like clanging cymbals in the middle of
A glass lullaby.
Though begging a resolve, notes are withheld;
It smothers so I am gasping for air,
Air that I’ll never actually have
Because the music stop(s or ped?)

Food4thought: "When You Look at Me"


When You Look at Me


When you look at me…
Why do your eyes measure my breast size?
Why is your mind far from mine?
Am I only a tool that you’ll use and leave?
When you look at me…
Why do your lips call me beautiful
When you really mean, “hot.”
Do you think I’m too inferior to see that?

Food4thought: "Radiant Flower of the Night"


Radiant Flower of the Night
As darkness falls, so does my heart
As night takes over, tears stain the page
So in this moment, I must remember how great Love art
For in this moment, my own pain is too great to gauge
So I will go to Love’s oldest friend
For only she can my heart mend
To this flower my mind I lend
If by her, my pain might end
O radiant flower of the night
How beautiful is your soothing light
For by it, I can rise once more
That for Love I will win this internal war
By your leading light I walk this path
That the enemy shall taste my full wrath
But should a single step ever stray
Guide me back, O beacon of light, I pray
Nocturnal sunflower, I implore you to give your true name
That should I need you again, your truths I might first claim
And if my crest again should fall
Might I find rest when to you I call
And so as night comes evermore
By this flower I gain my might
So since Love I truly adore
For hope, I look to the radiant flower of the night

Let Me Go to the Death Camps
From the perspective of Saint Marica
A holocaust survivor who, despite being able to avoid the death camps, chose to go
