Mental Health
Clandestine
Secrets Burn like hot coals Scorching her fragile mind The weight of knowing sears her soul Burden ~~~~~ Burden She dared to share A truth too dark to hold But trust once broken cannot heal Fractured ~~~~~ Fractured By his cold words Her guilt became her chains While his deeds festered in the dark Poison ~~~~~ Poison Spread through their bond Each whisper fed the rot Until their friendship fell apart Ashes ~~~~~ Ashes Were all that stayed Two hearts now torn and burned Destroyed by silence, guilt, and pain Secrets

"BETTY BLUE THE OLD LADY WHO LIVED IN A SHOE"
This poem, lyrical song was written on a whim as I observed my black boots with spider web artwork just sitting in my closet. Then I remembered nursery rhymes from my childhood. I chose to create a story about an old lady who lived in a shoe house, who had too many shoes. Nursery rhymes had deeper meanings than was written in children's books. Do you think there is a hidden meaning in my creation?
