Mother Goose Lies

--written on 6.5.07

oh,
for where would we be
without our horrible childhoods
the secrets lying beneath the sheets
dirty rumors and malicious lies
swept under the floorboards
merely there for the brave of heart
to take a peek once in a while
for our past becomes our futures
whether we will it to be or not
scraped-up knees and bandaged faces
just popping in to say "hello"
