About This Poem
Fireflies
There were fireflies in the garden
As I thought to my self that day
About the secrets families hold
Are secrets never should be told
As I was young and not to old
I watched her cut her flesh
Not once but thirty times more
I kept wondering why cut herself
I starred at fireflies in the garden
As I thought back to this memory
Seemed like a dream to me at 2 am
And at the very young age of ten
I watched the blood dripping from wrists
As they were yelling and screaming words
Someone was not paying enough attention
My mind kept trying to processes the scene
At an age I should not be seeing all this
Amongst the mixed messages swirling around
I thought about the fireflies outside the window
I was abruptly brought back to this dreadful scene
As I heard the dog cry out in pain as it was cut open
Only because she was there and in the way
She was a miniature Doberman pincher named Tiny
There were so many words and accusations spit out
It lasted a few hours but seemed the whole night
So many secrets in this family never should be told
Whenever I think back to this sad sad time
I remember the fireflies that were in the garden
I starred at fireflies in the garden as I thought
I want to get away from all this insane madness
And fly free alongside the fireflies in the garden
