swarm
a warped mind only
knows crazed paths with
jagged edges and broken
hearts.
a lonely person can terrorize
millions without many
resources and no one
would suspect a thing.
a small child,
unnoticed–uncared for,
left for dead–forgotten in
an instant.
she finds a community
linked to celebrity reign,
loses herself further
down a rabbit hole
of regret.
one wrong word, one
misplaced hand, one
out-of-order confession
and confusion overstays
its welcome.
in the end, no one reaches
her the way they need
to–she falls and falls and
falls and never gets
back up.
A Cornered Gurl 
You’re the reason I watched “Beef.” Now, I feel as if I’m about to be in another rabbit hole lol

This is riveting. You make me want to watch this series, and I am not a series person!

I’m really not a series person, either. But I’ve found some I can tolerate, and I loved this one.

It was a VERY WEIRD series, but enjoyable. It left me a little shaken if I’m honest.

This stanza jumped out at me. So sad but there is truth here.
a lonely person can terrorize
millions without many
resources and no one
would suspect a thing.
Keep shining your light.
