T he Road Trip
By Dani Wyatt ,
by Daniel Cox
Why do the head games start now?
Thought that part was over.
Times have changed,
yet, my feet and heart feel heavy
like stones being thrown.
Madness plagued him most of his days.
One day ran into another.
He often uttered things like, “not enough hours a
day.”
And his plan, would take time.
He was super vigilant.
Always prepared for the unexpected danger.
He remembered riding in a van
that stalls in the middle of the road.
And then he heard the danger.
A fast moving tractor
the other children scream out, in fear,
but not him,
he burst out in laughter
Glass stained with anger,
still trying to find out why.
Why the head games have begun
yet again.
Feeling like my words are against
a brick wall,
a brick wall,
which never used 2
be there.
Every day my heart is breaking,
like shattered stained glass.
Due 2 society as a whole, stares and
yet points in my direction of judgement,
along with the stereotype just cuz
I’m housing challenged.

Even in relationships that seem to display;
Why more head games?
Why more judgement?
Why should I have 2 feel this way?
I’m beginning to believe I’m still doing it again.
