Annie

[Chaos Spring]

Annie's a girl that lives in her shell
It works as her home but also her hell
She never leaves it when she leaves home
But it suffocates her when she's all alone

It protects her from laughs and jokes and taunts
But in the night it only haunts
It hides her from their laughing stares
But also reminds her there's no one there

It protects her, shuns the sparks
And yet it strangles her in the dark.
No matter how far she gets, she has to keep trying
Outside she's smiling, inside she's dying.

In her eyes, ruin follows her touch
Life is short, she doesn't have much.
And when she finally sleeps, it'll be too late
For she won't wake up, she's at death's gate.

Don't be like Annie, lower your walls
Together we stand, divided you fall

I chuckled at this. It has the air of one of those wonderfully sadistic children's rhymes and, I hope, with some fervor, that you will read this to your children, assuming of course you choose to have any if you don't already, because despite its dark nature, it has bright themes that every child should accept.

biggrin love it.
