POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Most my poetry and stories are written about my life as a child and the damage child abuse does to a child's mind.. I am no longer a keeper of secrets. I crank my rock n roll, smoke doob and write like a crazy women. Peace out..Shaunda

voice of the children
I am the voice of the children. I beg you, listen to them.
Do not shut out their small voices. Do not make them mute thru lack of listening.
Hear my story, I will tell you what they are saying. Look into my soul, I am one with them. Thru me, you will hear the small child's cry in the night.
Do not be blind to their pain, just because it's too painful for you. Feel my pain and you will feel their pain. Reach out to me. I will take you to them. They are inside of me. I am with them always.
But to only feel and hear their pain alone will not help our...

a mother to me
Mother to me is only a name
someone who allows the dirty game
Silence is golden-a mothers rule
Then mother sends you off to school
A mother has eyes in the back of her head
So when facing her child- cannot see she is dead
At night time a mother plants kisses on chin
then sends you to the lions den
Mother to me--it's only a word
her man is but a dirty bird
A mother goes shopping and shopping and shopping
while dirty birds hopping and hopping and hopping
A mother looks through me
she sees only her man
she...
someone who allows the dirty game
Silence is golden-a mothers rule
Then mother sends you off to school
A mother has eyes in the back of her head
So when facing her child- cannot see she is dead
At night time a mother plants kisses on chin
then sends you to the lions den
Mother to me--it's only a word
her man is but a dirty bird
A mother goes shopping and shopping and shopping
while dirty birds hopping and hopping and hopping
A mother looks through me
she sees only her man

Pillow Talk
Do you know what it smells like to die? It smells like me
If only pillows talked-what stories they could tell
My pillow witnessed many a thing- in this life that I call hell
My pillow is a fluffy thing
without it-I can hardly sleep
I snuggle up-my sweet dreams near
Mind of it's own it has- I fear
My pillows such a harmless thing
Moves of it's own accord- it seems
And then-my pillow talks to me
It holds me down- I'm struggling
My hot wet breath fills up my nose
It smells like me when I explode
...

while god sleeps soundly
I wake from dreams where terrors creep
I wake to realize I'm not asleep
No - little girls don't sleep at night
They strain their ears - eyes wide with fright
With hopes of hearing Angels fly
Oh please dear God - PLEASE not tonight
But only my pillow hears me call While God sleeps soundly thru it all
Rock-a-bye baby - please don't cry - Your Daddies gonna sing you a lull-a-bye
I hear his footsteps down the hall
His breath I smell thru door - thru wall
His laughter echoes in my mind
I close my eyes so I'll be blind
...

The killing tree
It was early morning when twelve year old Eden lay in bed, her eyes wide open, thinking about the day ahead. Today was the day Eden was going to save her rabbit Honey Bunch from the killing tree!
Eden called it the killing tree, because Mr.Fester the neighbor used it to butcher his eating rabbits on. And, Eden knew something terrible about Fester, as she called him. She knew he'd forced his daughter to butcher her own rabbit.
Eden was mortified, watching Mr. Fester yelling at his daughter Shauna, shoving the the pipe into her hands, squeezing them so tight around the pipe,...

killing daddy
So many years- I said and I said
don't touch me daddy- I'm out of my head
you use your lies- sharp tongue and wit
to get with me- be alone with me- SHIT
Go ahead daddy- you take and you take
one of these days- I'm a cut off your snake
go ahead daddy- rip my clothes with your knife
I'll steal it someday and I'll cut out your life
Get that pillow off my face daddy-cause you're blocking my air
Oh fuck it-get it over with-death is better than despair.
I plot, I plan,...

Puberty
PUBERTY
A father takes, eyes closed, that which he has no right
A child cries, traumatized, a closet hides her pain
The child dies, awakes to find- a woman in her place
her damaged mind- cannot abide- the change her body makes
The woman stands- naked and alone- facing mirrored images
backs away- cuts today- appraising all her damages
rearrange- her bodies change- sculpt it down to size
to take away- the ugly place- I cut it with a knife
A father takes, eyes closed, that which he has no right
A child cries, traumatized, a closet hides her pain
The child dies, awakes to find- a woman in her place
her damaged mind- cannot abide- the change her body makes
The woman stands- naked and alone- facing mirrored images
backs away- cuts today- appraising all her damages
rearrange- her bodies change- sculpt it down to size
to take away- the ugly place- I cut it with a knife

Judas Me
My ears pick out his sounds - in the dead of the night
I hide under the covers - out of mind, out of sight
I lay frozen with fear - while preparing myself
To leave my body behind - and put my mind on a shelf
When he passes me by - I rejoice in his wake
I laugh under my breath - for tonight I am safe
But relief turns to guilt with your struggle to be free
For if he did not choose you - he would choose JUDAS me
So I lie to myself - to convince me it's true
That the shadows that dance on the walls are not you
Then I lie once again...
I hide under the covers - out of mind, out of sight
I lay frozen with fear - while preparing myself
To leave my body behind - and put my mind on a shelf
When he passes me by - I rejoice in his wake
I laugh under my breath - for tonight I am safe
But relief turns to guilt with your struggle to be free
For if he did not choose you - he would choose JUDAS me
So I lie to myself - to convince me it's true
That the shadows that dance on the walls are not you
Then I lie once again...
