I forgot to be a child,
with numbers and with words.
I never screamed to break the silence,
I never cried til I was warm.
When I was born, I sat straight-faced,
or slept in discontent.
My mother was a patriot,
my father paid the rent,
my brothers bred in violence,
my sisters swallowed swords,
I just laid in paint and uttered nonsense words.
I made up brand new numbers,
I saw the seven signs,
I never played pretend,
and I liked to stand in lines.
I heard them call my name,
and imagined I had none.
I just sat in silence,
as your quiet, simple son.

 reports, 1d 8h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on.
