My Game - Hannah Lou Clark

This is my road

I spit where I sleep

This is my door

Nobody to greet

This is my car

Drive me to the moon

I’ll run out of gas

Burst the balloon

These are my words

This is my game

Play by my rules

Never out

Stay welcome

Unless I ask you to

This is my cat

It let itself in

Comes and it goes

Sleeps with a satisfied grin

This is my path

It harbors my woe

All the day’s done

Sucking my porcelain throat

These are my words

This is my game

Play by my rules

Never out

Say you’re welcome

Unless I ask you to

Heaven’s high walls

Built for a king

Down in the moat

I fell, stayed my welcome

This chapter is through

And I’m through with you
