A parent
April 26, 2009
Do you remember waking up
Screaming and soaked in sweat
Still terrified by the icy claw
The fires that consumed you
Do you remember
Being a young girl
Struggling
To find yourself
I remember these
I was your helping hand
Until you grew strong enough
To pick yourself up
I remember your tears
The ones that burned like acid
The ones I wanted to stop
But couldn't
Do you remember
Seeing me leave
Sad smile on my face
Happy tears in my eyes

Writers are a less dangerous version of the career criminal. Everywhere they go, they see the potential for the perfect crime. The difference is that writers have better self control.
