Daddy
Hello, you who held me when I was just a baby
To you, who watched me
Swathed and bottle fed me
Do you know how scary it really isTo see a child begging for a mother’s kissBut you don't have the guts to tell him the newsHe'll never get it all be
Spinning and toiling with the thought that life is funny,
how you can be so stable and have the ground ripped out from underneath.
At least I have a home and job, at least I am not in the streets,
Lonely?
No, i'm not lonely.
There's too many things around
for me to sit long enough
to feel the emptiness
of walking
to class in the morning
or at meal time
with friends that smile
NOTE: Inspired by/taken from quotes of modern, pop-culture villains.
If you think you’re safe, you’re wrong
(an ant has no quarrel with a boot).
I will burn you, I will burn the heart out of you;
No additions, no subtractions, I am an ordinary woman
Simply less gorgeous than what my pictures look like
I am a woman with flaws
With acne, small eyes, and facial hair
Nothing too special about my body
After goals are met of finishing high school and you realize soon you'll be paying rent. Talking about marriage at a young age cause she has nice legs instead of resisting we start insisting to do things that might have long term effects.
The world drops out from below and my head lifts into the clouds
To float like it has for all my life,
Only this time it is for real.
the stars, the sky
the twinkling beetle skin
home is just a memory
the brick and clay
the scratchy, knitted clothes
the ashy air
the muggy clouds
the swampy ground and mire
