A Cloudy Day in Childhood

But it’s my skin you’ve bruised,

my temple you’ve trespassed.

My soul you’ve crushed

and my glass you’ve shattered.


My confidence confused;

my leadership surpassed.

My patience rushed

and my strength now battered.


Take a hammer to an organ.

Pull the head off a rose.

Lay a hand on a child

to bring childhood to a close.


The world’s a little darker

when there’s clouds and no stars.

Souls less healed

when you’re out to cause scars.
