Just Jump - Frankenstein's Grand Finale - End of the Dear Frankenstein Saga

What happens when your only way out is so final, yet so beautiful?
When the only one you've got is your captor, your abuser?
When your chance at a legitimate escape is too far away, when you’ve just got to get away now?

I’ll tell you what happens:
You get a little crazy, a little careless.
You can’t remember all of the people who care for you, the ones who would miss you.
You get selfish.

You can’t see what causes it, so you can’t fix it… this dysfunction.
You know you can’t just change it, because you’re not the only one involved.

So… You run.
The first chance you get, you run.
But there’s no where to go.
You know they’ll come.
You know they’ll find you.
So, you run.
Just until you find a beautiful space.
It’s so beautiful, it might already be heaven.
You’ll find out soon.

It’s a beautiful cliff.
Maybe they’ll think you fell.
It doesn't matter.
Don’t leave a note;
Let them think what they will.

Jump.
Now’s your chance.
Hear them coming?
They’re closing in.
Quick!
Before they catch you.

This is your last chance to escape.
Jump.
It won’t hurt once you've hit the bottom.
It can’t be any worse than everyday.

Do it now,
Before there’s anymore pain.
Don’t start thinking.
They’ll get over you.
Move on without you.

Jump.
Before it’s too late again.
Just jump.
Nothing will ever hurt again.

Quick!
Do it quick!
Jump.
… Just Jump.

*This is the end of a tortured life.*

Turns out…

The bad guys win.

Glory



This is the story of a beautiful horse named Glory

Freckled and spotted
She stood but a twig
Lost in a forest
Of abandonment

Tires and barbwire
Surround her by day
And at night she suffers
The coyotes cries, not far away

Left with no food
Or water to drink
She stands by a tree
And hopes for relief

Halter grown in
And hooves overgrown
Not a grain in that belly
And left all alone

Withering quick
She stands by her tree
And hopes a kind soul
Will help her to see

There is life still
No matter how grim
Things seem from beneath
This horrid, old tree

This halfhearted twig
Awaits her relief
As the days pass her by
And she writhes with grief

Her name is Glory
All freckled with spots
Like a giant Dalmatian
Trapped in this spot

At the end of her lead
She was finally freed
Not a day too soon
She'll now find relief

Halfhearted no longer
And happy at last
Whom once was a twig
Knows Glory at last

Halfhearted no longer
And free from that mess
Glory has found relief
At Horse Creek Ranch*

*Horse Creek Ranch is, to the best of my knowledge, a fictional name.

Look At That Face



Look At That Face!

Before I was yours there was a time when I could not go outside. I would stay all day in this concrete cage and the days would pass me by. Many people scuffled through this dark and dusty place; each time they looked but passed me by for a softer, younger face.

For three long years, here I'd wait in this cold decrepit place. Just waiting for the day you'd come and say 'Look at that face!' Through all this time I wagged my tail, hoping and believing that someday you would come and see far past my size and wrinkles.

At my first home... There, they were nice, until two weeks past and twice my size. They didn't foresee my growth or my playful puppy ways. They didn't account for training, or the messes I might make so here I was left to stay in this cold concrete cage. Until the day you came and said 'Look at that face!'

Now here I am today, in this sunny grassy place. I fetch and I obey at the moment that you say. Soon we go inside to the comfy furnished space where you lay down on your bed and I stretch out by your side. You stroke my head, I wag my tail and here we say no more, for here I am today; happy, healthy, and forever home.


A Note From The Author:::...
I have 4 rescue dogs, one with epilepsy and 2 cats I rescued as strays. I feel the ones who've had a difficult life appreciate and treasure our love more. You'll have a lot to learn about a rescue fur-baby but it's well worth it for the love they give back to you.

Dear Frankenstein



Have you forgotten all you taught me,
Dear Frankenstein?
Let me remind you
Of of how we came to be this way:::...


Dear Frankenstein
I'd just like to say
Why I finally went away

From early on
You taught me well
About omissions and lies
And doing them well

An omission is not a lie
I learned early on
But you changed your tune
When you thought I had gone

You failed to instill
The difference between
You and me
And the ants on my feet

So  an omission I made
To you one day
Because also you taught me
Withholding information is key

You called it a lie
And stood silent for days
Well guess what?
You pushed me away

You changed your mind
When you called it a lie
And a whole lot changed
On that night

My hero, my saint
Held up so high
Dear Frankenstein
You fell from the sky

Hit the ground
Landed on your face
Embrace the change
Nothing can be the same

Now you roam
Amongst the rest
With an H on your face
For Hypocrite

And a Hypocrite
You will remain
Because monsters do
As they are trained

In no time since then
You said I'd lied
Because I trusted you
To see inside

Silly me
I made a mistake
When I trusted you
Again today

Never again
Will it happen to me
Trusting you
Is what dug your grave

Every monster has a Frankenstein
We are born as clay
And shaped by your ways

You wanted a liar
An omit-er
A tool

You got what you asked for
Ten fold, you fool

Betrayed by your monster
You sent it away
And expected it would learn
But return some day

Stupid you
You hypocrite
You fool!

You started digging that grave
The day you taught your monster
To think for itself
It's own ideas to make

And in translation
You fell through the cracks
No decision was made
About who to respect

Dear Frankenstein
I must say
I'm not sorry
You pushed me away

Learned a lot this time
About trust and disdain
Surely you know
That you dug your own grave

It was not me
Who chose this fate
Dear Frankenstein
...
You made me this way.

Self Inflicted, a Poem


Tear into my skin
And let my life drip out
This is my omission
My sin

Self inflicted is how it goes
Keep me guessing
On my toes

Never thought the day would come
When I would have to kiss that gun

All my life I've thought about
How it might have been
To tell the truth
Without the blur
Of lies or stories within

Not a lie
But an omission
A crucial fact left out

To change the story
In my favor
And let the crowd go wild

Not sinister
Not selfish
No harm here

It was a cat
A playful cat
Who put the scratches there

Not scratches but cuts
Deeply imbedded
Into the liar's soul

How long will they believe
That it was this little cat
Who made me bleed
Though I did not scream
I need the blood to drop

Just a little at a time
Maybe an ounce or two
Not very much
But just enough
To ease my aching soul

Yet still I blame that little cat
For tearing up my skin
Well thanks cat
You did me well
With an alibi included

I spill my blood
And mine alone
To quell the rage and sorrow

An ounce here
And ounce there
Just to feed the sparrow

I'll not confess
I did my best
And still I bit the bullet

I couldn't prove it
I couldn't do it
And now they see the rest

I did my best
But I must confess
It was me who did it

I let the blood drop
I tore into my skin

I never screamed
I never cried
I wanted to do it

It was all Self Inflicted
… Just for the sake
Of getting through it

Broken Home



Here we go 
again
No room left to 
pretend

The word 'love'
Is just junk
It's meant to 
cover up

The scars and 
the bruises
Of fights day 
and night
The mental 
abuses
It just isn't right

Surviving 
together
In this torture 
room
This shattered 
home
Can provide no 
room

To breath but 
to see
Hearts of soot 
and ash
When the cold 
took over
It broke them 
in half

Strangle me
Stab me
Swallow me 
whole

Spit me out
String me up
Drop me hard 
down a hole

Let me crash 
and burn
But never learn
The sins of this 
home
The lie that is 
'love'

It never ends
Like a carnival 
ride
Round and 
round
And up and 
down

Never let me 
drown
Just choke for a 
little while
Then pull me 
up
And whip my 
back

Then start again
On the next go 
round

I can't get off
This merry-go-
round
In 
Frankenstein's 
carnival
No mercy can 
be found

Like jungle cats
We fight in 
silence
Tearing to 
shreds
'Til it rains 
down red

The acid in the 
blood
Which pours 
like a flood
Burns my 
wounded back
Where you 
whipped me
As revenge for 
my subtle attack

I knew by now
You could be 
so cruel
But to turn 
your back
Your subtle 
attack
For a simple 
question
I need not 
have asked

The silence 
ringing in my 
ears
It's scathing 
tone buries me 
whole
In soot and ash
And prolongs 
your attack

All the shards
From the 
windows and 
walls
Of our broken 
home
They envelope 
my soul
And take me 
into the fold

Bury me in this 
mold
As the one who 
couldn't go

Freeze me in 
time
As the failure
Who couldn't 
get out
To save her 
own soul

But chained to 
a wall
She fell 
through the 
floor
She rotted away
...
Had she ever 
been there at 
all?

The victim of a 
broken home
The subtle 
abuses
They ate 
through her 
soul

Not breathing 
but seeing
The monster's 
true form
Left on her own
In this 
permanently 
broken home

Can't live with
Can't afford to 
live without

Then die 
together
In the torture 
room
Of this 
irrevocably 
broken home

…...

Round and 
round
On the merry-
go-round
Frankenstein's 
carnival
Has taken you 
down

Sleep



When I Sleep......

Nightmares haunt me in my sleep
And chase away the pleasant dreams
One by one they steal my sleep
And leave me with a need to flee

These mares they have an evil plan
To steal the sleep from all the land

And as they charge into my dreams
They steal the peace I need to sleep

I lay down now to feed the need
To rest my eyes, I need the sleep

Sandman come and storm near me
I need your help
To get my sleep

Tempest bless me with your clock
Tick and Tock
Please make time stop

Wind and rain and thunder strong
Cease my mind and lull me along

Mother Nature hear my plea
Keep me safe, watch over me

Give me wings to reach my dreams
But keep me safe from these dangerous things

The night mares
They still come for me
But now they find I can't be reached

At last I find a peaceful sleep
With all of thee protecting me

Come now and stay by me
Provide me with
A good night's sleep

But let it end at daylight's break
I am alive
My soul is safe

The Love Went Away


There's no easy way to accept...
When the love goes away

All these years
Leading up to the day...
When you finally walked away

Hidden behind the smile
Of someone who used to love 
you
Once a happy child
Now the tormented

Trusted...
Gave in...
Time and time again

Hoping...
Begging...
You would find a way back in

But chance after chance
You blew me away
With your incapacity to say

Angry, sad, disappointed, 
betrayed?
I'll never know unless you say

But time is growing short,
You see
I've got a plan
To find my peace

Little did you know
What a mark you could leave
On a tortured child's soul

Burning...
Bleeding...
Tearing deep
No way back
To yesterday

To a time when innocence 
believed
There was no such thing as a 
wicked
witch
...
And surely you could never be

Yet on this day
I smile to you
Hiding the sad, sad truth

Tormented can only be for so 
long
Time enough will teach the soul

There's no way back to yesterday
To a time when I believed

No way forward
From this place...
Where brick walls crumble
And I die within the rubble

~~____________________________________~~

This is the story of a young girl 
who killed herself because the 
one person
she thought truly loved her turned
his back on her; suddenly acted 
as though he hated her, and she 
couldn't
understand why...
This is a fictional depiction of a 
very possible reality.
Thanks for reading ~ Mistylove

Tick Tock



Tick...
Tock...

Tick...
Tock...

Watch the sand
Pass through the hour glass
Grain by grain
You're watching it fade

Tick...!
Tock...!

Your time is up.


Sometimes it is too late
The fact is
The minutes do fade

There's never forever
Tomorrow might happen
Then again
We may never see the end of today

Time keeps running
With or without us
Hard as we try
But we cannot outrun it
There is no way

There always will be an end
We never can tell when it will be
But it will be

Time runs out
Without a doubt
There's always an end
Sooner than when...

When we like
When we're ready
When we want?

We never know
We never can tell

Time is tricky that way

It makes us feel like we have forever
Like forever can never end

Well guess what
You missed out
Because time ran out
With the last...

Tick.
Tock.


Now I hope you believe
As well as me
That now's the time
To make it count

To live your life
Without any doubt

Before your last...

Tick...

Tock.
