Really Long Rant Poem Thing That I Just Had to Get off my Chest

I fell asleep to flowered wallpaper,

I fell asleep on that twin bed

to the music of a big room

the music of

of her flute,

my sisters piano downstairs.

I never slept

when the parking lot,

outside my window was plowed.

The sheet of white innocence

iced in yellow light.

I never slept

when the heaters creaked, when

the big house stretched her limbs.

I always danced

down the long long

halls,

under that chandelier,

bathed in childhood.

Oblivious to my very own bliss.

I always stared,

at that reservoir

across the road.

I always sat on my dandelion hill

or I sat in my tree,

I let the lilacs

the strawberries,

the daffodils,

the violets

raise me.

In a sunflower house,

in the tall grass,

Ive never known anything else.

I never knew,

the sun falls so differently

burns you differently

when you're somewhere else.

I never knew

there were people somewhere that

didn't know how to get to dandelion hill

and that didn't know how long I spent

in that tree,

in that garden.

They didn't fall asleep to my floral walls

and didn't know that all those details

were so important to me.

And one beautiful day we were gone,

and so were all the people

who did know.
