Mommy, My Eye by J. S. Lawhead


Mommy -
You said I'd have two eyes.
Today I have nine.
Two in my head.
Four in my hands.
And three where the sun don't shine.

Mommy -
I just grew a few more.
They hurt something awful.
They break through the bone,
they break through my skin,
and land right on top of my waffles.

Mommy -
I'm getting more and more.
The pain is getting so much worse!
I hear little voices,
they laugh at me when I cry,
they say I'm going to rot in a hearse.

Mommy -
My new eyes are starting to see things
that my other eyes can't see.
I see things that look like little children
who died in a hospital fire.
They say they've come for me.

Mommy -
My eye!
why aren't you doing anything?
Wh...
You're not my Mommy!
Help!
