Kathy Ball

What makes her do

the things she does

All the voices in her head ring true

Maybe, it’s just because

 

She’s been living in her own world

Playing make believe and hide and seek

But now that her life has unfurled

it’s hard to get the truth to speak

 

Kathy Ball

has taken a fall

Down the ladder’s silver platter

Up against the wall

She has taken her last bow

Somehow

Someway, she’ll make her last curtain call

 

She always knew it wouldn’t last

Going so fast with her past

Playing games

Naming names that caused others more shame

Knowing right from wrong

Acting strong

Lashing out way too long

Handcuffed to the same old song

 

What caused the riff in her tide

that she couldn’t hide

was the love of another

A woman even her own husband saw in her mother
