Childs Play Poem by Rebecca Hall

Childs Play

Rating: 5.0


I slide to the floor
Holding my hands
Over my ears
Begging and pleading
For them to stop

Crystal teardrops
Clatter to the ground
In rythem
To my beating heart

Beating to fast
For my breath to follow
Rattleing my tiny body
Shaking beneathe the kitchen table

Words fly from their mouths
As a bird flies through the air
They pick something up
Throwing at one another

My little mind cant comprehend
All thats happening around me

Please mommy,
Please daddy,

One question running through my mind.....

Why?
