i wish i could create music for when i don't have words
just a chain of delicate melodies to dangle from my neck
rather than redundant apologies
for a hell that keeps me trapped for days
weeks
it's okay
my hell is just another acronym you'll forget by morning
the patriarchy will agree and take your side
of course
of course
and i will continue to smile
help others to distract myself
because that is what i do
