refuge in the maze
i hide within
bushes and brambles

Mother, why did you pursue?
i've seen you stabbed
and bleeding
sweaty crouched within
bushes and brambles
you never made me bleed
why do you make me run?

911 phone calls
hiding in the closet
save me - God!
my annual prayer
intercede

Mother, why did you track me down?
i leave my life and love
behind
abandoned maze
save me - God!

sleeping in your sheets
homes has changed
the waking world
betrays my memories
pleated in my breaths are
cut off silent screams

overlayed with reality
are dreams
chased shoved
falling from family
i hide within
painful realities
as they become my dreams
CW: violence, blood, family conflict
