Darkened Heart
Learn more about other poetry terms
I try to smile
And show kindness
To those who may need it
But sometimes I wish
They could see behind the curtain
The veil that I have on
It's there to keep people from seeing
Why is it such a big deal?
Why is it such an issue?
If a girl wants to sag her pants and get fresh like the guys do
she can
Why is it such a bother?
If a girl would rather be her child's father
I can
There are many me's as there are many you's, the kinds that keep low and hide in their minds and the kinds that speak out the truth. Have you ever noticed, when you went out to eat, that the waitress spoke sweetly and loud?
I intentionally joined the am and I,
I have done it so much but why do I lie,
I lie to myself about who I am,
I walk into the bathroom, see the mirror, BAM!
The outside world sees me as a crazy,
What is it you see when you see me?
A girl? A person on the street?
Someone you would like to meet?
Am I defined by my clothes?
Or how I fix my hair?
Does it matter, do people care?
Pull me down and watch me plunder,
Because I was tamed by love and thunder.
Give me your wing to hide under,
Because I am sacred, and I am stubborn.
