Neverending Thoughts & Feelings | Poems

Where I Keep My Feelings

My best friend takes a piece.
Today's her birthday, she thought, long ago.
My friend takes a piece.
He's a heavy sleeper.
My brother takes a piece. He lied to me.
Mother takes a little piece. She's not what it seems.
It hurts.
I start thinking: Happy thoughts, happy thoughts, happy thoughts.
My sister takes a big piece. She would never betray me.
Father takes a little piece.
It's where I keep my feelings.
It hurts..
I keep thinking: Happy thoughts, happy thoughts, happy thoughts.
Now I feel better.
Everyone took a piece. Everyone is gone. Like the pieces.
It hurts...
A little piece is left. I reach down to grab it.
I went too far and fell.
There's nothing left..
It hurts. A lot.

I look at the rope.
Sadly, not only the pain went away.

Happy thoughts, happy thoughts, happy thoughts.

I'm sorry.
