Neighbor

Laying in bed
I read this prompt
I sit up
Look behind me
My grandma/ my neighbor
Her house peers at me
Through my curtains
I see her, in her kitchen
How gracious I am
to have a neighbor
That loves me
Gets down on her knees
to pray for me
Cooks me chicken and dumplings
Cries for my broken heart
Writes me songs
and see's me as God does
(Fucked up but lovable)
I am gracious
To have
the best neighbor
on the block

THOSE BEHIND

As I sit comfortably
In a dark recess
To catch a glimpse
Of a God
Those that sit behind
Stare intently ahead
As this God and
Insects battle like
The titans they are
We gasp and flinch
As violence rages
Before our eyes
And cheer at last
When triumphantly
Godzilla rises

This was actually earlier today, but I thought it would be a cool little poem

WHAT IS BEHIND ME.

As I sit on my bed reading what was written I turn around and the first thing I see is my past and death comeing closer .

Day by day night by night , my past and death come to hunt me and never let me go so I dont turn around I just keep looking foward.

So I dont turn around becuse I know that my past and death are always there following me waiting for me to mess up so it can take me down into its hell ...

I turn around and I see a door
Looming, heavy and massive, it won't let me leave
Why is it closed, I swear it was open before
Feeling trapped and helpless, I begin to grieve
A voice calls my name, but I'm alone in here
The voice calls again, a whisper in my ear
I look around and realize, that I'm in quite a bind
I look around and realize, that I'm trapped within my mind
