Life is a Playground

by Samantha Lowe - Scorpio

You forgot how to laugh long ago
in the painted woods of your youth
Now I watch you as you sit there
your slender chin held within your hands
as you watch the second hand ease forward into time
Your hate burns inside for the world
and all it's fools
For life is but a playground to you
spinning around until one gets sick
and falls off
The tears stain your lips as though freshly revived
yet you try to hide them with your death black shade of lipstick
So beautiful were you
So full of life
and joy and love
Now full of hatred for the one you call father
shown with the blue and black of your pale arms.
