WALKING ON EGGSHELLS
sick of
walking on eggshells
sick of
watching my words
fearing to stir
your anger
you don't hit
you are righteous
you are right
you know you have every right
to be angry
I am wrong
I have again done
that cardinal sin
said something
sick of
sick of
walking on eggshells
time for
talking of eggshells
eggshells belong on eggs
eggshells hold baby chicks
and I'm sick
of walking on eggshells
the instructions are clear
no breaking the eggshells
no hurting the eggs
no saying anything
I'm not a hen
I don't lay eggs
but I walk on eggshells
thousands of eggshells
eggshells whole
eggshells cracked
eggshells leaking
and it's all my fault
if an eggshell is cracked
if an eggshell is hurt
if that poor baby chick
is injured
it needs protection
but for me
I'm walking on eggshells
crickety crack
walking on eggshells
step on a crack, break your mother's back
break something, break everything
everything is glass
everything is fragile
nothing build to last
nothing built sturdy
nothing built strong
except knowing
walking on eggshells
is no fun, it's wrong
wrong for me
misery
and it's a mystery
just how to avoid cracking the eggshells
I can't breathe, can't move free
those eggshells need warming under some mother hen
those eggshells should be broken by chicks now and then
or the eggshells should become eggs, for eggs and toast
but walking on eggshells, that is the most
rotten way for eggshells to go
from being eggs to being just plain rotten
the most rotten way for eggs to go
from eggs to just plain grotty sticky messy masses
of egg innards mixed with eggshells
sick of walking on eggshells
sick of walking on eggshells
want my eggs for breakfast, in cake, or turning to chicks
no walking on eggshells, that makes me sick
I know it's my fault
whatever I say is wrong
but I don't belong
in an eggshell world
bull in china shop
that's also wrong
not the bull, not the china shop
but they don't belong, bull in a china shop
eggshells - others may float, never touch the eggshells
I do and I go
sick of walking on eggshells
I'm not a bull
but a china shop is no fun home for me
I want freedom to move and to breathe

A dozen
years ago,
I began to wake up
with word pieces -
words music, spoken word, songs -
in my head.
Escape velocity.
Echo of the echo.
Tank almost empty.
Can't cross the gap.
Welcome into my world.
ABUSE POEMS CAN BE ABOUT ...
WALKING ON EGGSHELLS
time to stop walking on eggshells,
no fun walking on eggshells
walk on eggshells -
they crack and crunch
life poem about
a kind of emotional abuse
where you are wrong, wrong, wrong
one is wrong wrong wrong
I am wrong wrong wrong
anger poems, abuse poems
can be about so much
can be about
walking on eggshells
poems on abuse
can be about
so much
can be about
time to stop walking on eggshells
I walk on eggshells
they crunch, crack, smash
life ends with dying
life goes on with grieving
deep sad poems
