skin laid as leaves
my soul the seed, vessel bound
hush, here comes the freeze
Confined in these lines, how much movement is mine
How much deviance is permissible without going too far as to be
Unacceptable
Unaddressable
Unprofessional
Everytime I'm pushed around like a Ragdoll,
You're addicted ,for you it's alcohol.
Everytime it's you,only you .
Who determines what I should do !
Why can't I just be me and you be you ?
Six feet under,
never known.
A memoir of a kingdom, that will never get their land.
They will never understand, this very feeling that we have
because our root gave birth again,
It was a face.
Two eyes.
A nose.
A mouth.
A person with developed organs.
Someone's daughter.
Broken down into nothingness.
A dead carcass.
Are we awesome?
Nah, maybe were just ordindary
Many of my people locked away in solitary
Causing this huge diversionary
How can they call themselves honorary?
Placed by the window,
the delicate bouquet sits
pristine and untouched
with petals like placid smiles
and soft sissy hands,
they settle dainty and benign
in their sheltered vase.
Heads tilt sideways
Eyes peering in
Hearts beat to the same
Rhythm.
Come with us
Come with us
They plead
Lips glued upwards
In a grin.
Hair is swaying
She ran.
Past the creaky rocking chair and the old tin can,
Through the mahogany door and into the wrinkled man.
She jumped the white picket fence just to see.
Stuck in this place
My personal hell
I cant leave
I cant move
If iI do it will all end
Or would it just begin
If I try to escape
They will just find a way to put me back in that state
You said you’d let me be anything I wanted to be…
But I never could believe you
When you couldn’t let me be me.
“Don’t let them play soccer or football until they’re in college!”
