AWARENESS


Pizzaz is very aware

Mom screeched

Dad threw

The cabinet was in pieces

 

Pizazz didn’t really have a room

Where she was safe

Tried her best to smother herself with pillows

Yet she still was aware

 

Sometimes mom scolded her for hours 

She would leave

then she would come back

She would leave 

And comeback

Pizazz learned to listen when she would come back

 

Those steps

 

Dad left a lot

He would go away

And come back

 

Mom was always screeching

Dad was always throwing 

Pizazz was always aware




When pizazz was in junior high, she liked PE class. She would always have to run run run miles and that was excruciating. But she was stronger.

 

This kid liked to slap her on the back of her neck everytime he saw her. She didn’t like that. 

One time after he exited his class, she ran up to him and slapped him real hard on the neck. Later in PE he found her and did his mightiest slap. Then never again.



Pizazz ate a nice pizza, it poisoned her. 



Pizazz fell asleep, these thoughts marauding in her mind.
