(2015)
Look down at yourself You are a human being A skeleton With muscles And skin
You’re scared Fingers trembling Heart tight with anxiety You can’t breathe You can’t think
I cannot easily be happy I can’t click my heels three times… I can’t ask my godmother To turn mice into horses And a pumpkin into a carriage
You are beautiful Those scars on your skin Tell me so They bring tears to my eyes To know
I want love, I need love, I want to breathe love. If you are to love me Like I want you to be,
I’m so sick of this shit I want out This box is enclosing me I bang on the walls Scream till my throat is raw
Let me ask you something. When your teachers speak of the pa… And the rights battles for women a… Do they say anything about how the… Do they even dare mention the figh…
Can you see See the glimmer of pain That shimmers deep See my tears in the rain My life means less
I think I may cry I think I could puke I’m breaking slowly From the inside out Starting with the heart
Words. They shouldn’t mean a damn thing But they make me crumble in pain Light up with joy Break down in tears
These tears drip from my eye They show the pain My family yells and fights No one ever notices Scars on my thighs
A deep pull Tugging every part of me Always wanting Forever needing Skin to skin contact
