5 Minutes
Anger boils, my stomach –it quakes
I’m so done now, my mind shakes
Expectation is bitterness
Just waiting to bloom
You don’t respect,
You don’t care, I fume
You don’t feel
You don’t see
You don’t care
About anything that makes me
You don’t care about my stress
You don’t care about my life
You only care if I disobey
Or cause your life any strife
I want to rip out my own insides
Rip out my inner being
To not carry my name
Would be everything freeing
But you’d never understand
One’s overbearing, the other’s frigid
Your biases unchanging
And your judgments rigid.
One day you’ll look back
And see what you’ve born
A monster, an alien
You’ll realize when my hair’s shorn
When my piercings shine
My tattoos sing
My clothes talk for me
When I stretch my wings.
You’ll realize that you attempted
To force you into me
And you never thought
That something else would ever be
Something you can never fix,
I’ll be one of your regrets.
You’ll never be able to undo
One of your forever unpaid debts.
