I am adrift in a sea of idle words, ah

ya'll reading and speaking are some difernt

thanks how ahyoosta speak t hin k,

All drinkin' from one metate hung from a rope,
a noose, with thirteen loops,

but, that's not me, not my ever was,

the metate I drank from hung in a neat
macreme sling with some feathers and seeds and

rocks knotted in "fer th'll ovidand hexation of spit'

and metate is what my uncle called the clay ***
with the dipper,

so if you thought this was a grinding story,

Every moment my eyes are open
I am reminded by them how flawed i am
They list all my imperfections
I avoid mirrors
Mirrors speak so hard and unkind to me
It drowns out all the other voices
I tell myself its not true
Stay strong
You are beautifull
You are loved
You are an amazing person
People are lucky to know you
But in my heart i know its not true
In my heart lives a scared little girl
She never got the change to become great
She learned how to survive abuse
How to brake herself with critical words
That the mirror hurts more
Now, in her room, my heart
She sits and cry
Tearing the wall paper
My voice her only solace
It is okay
Dont fear
I am here
I got you
The comfert i bring her
Yes, short lived
But all i have
All she has

— The End —
