How can you settle
When life's yet to begin?
How can you just accept?

You're more than
a china doll,
Don't choose to be seen
and not heard,

Scream
Be heard
Hear your words
Hear your anger
Your frustration
Your voice

Your own...

don't worry, be happy...

That I'll be left behind
They'll see the ugly I feel inside
Never compromise
Forget to laugh
Cry
Love
Empathize
I'll forget to breathe
Be consumed by greed
Forget to give
Forget others need
Lured by lust
Efface trust
Lose
Waste life
Be left behind

Don't
Look
At
Me

I'm weak.
I'll give in .
No second thought
I'll slip

We've been here before
You
Me
Us
Tangled
Twisted
Together

Reality effaced

Tangled
Twisted
Together

Forgive me...

Ma,

Is it okay?
My hunger
My desire
More-
I want more.
But then
I dont know...

I refuse the path
that's already laid;
Yet scared to run astray
And your arms
that hold my close,
They suffocate me
all the same

Feet stuck
Mind wandering
Heart stuck
Yearning
Restless

What do I do?

My favourite bruise

A reminder that I can
feel
hurt
burn
bleed
scream

Whilst you
recoil
relax
light up
punch
not hear

Indulge in fantasy reality
Erase over blemishes
Spit in my face

My favourite bruise

A realization that
my worth is real

Lucky

Fingers and toes
Both crossed
No walking under ladders
black cats; be gone
Luck is made
Luck be mine

Fog up that mirror;
Again.
Blurry vision
Truth?
Hidden.

Lie; such an ugly word.
Just look the other way
Ignorance is bliss

Stop.
Don't look at me like that

Luck is made
Luck be mine

in between the sheets

In between the sheets
Us, speaking foreign tongues
It was not love
It need not be

You and me
And the rest of the night

In between the sheets
Time wasted
Time wisely spent

Sun's ray, morning
Back to reality

Us, speaking foreign tongues
Thank you?
Sorry?
Words unnecessary

Good morning
