If I told you what you are Would you rewrite yourself? For me, could you do that? I know who you are Back to front I've read you I know I can't cut you You know I can't too But You wouldn't do that for me I know that So we'll sit in silence Until the moment passes So until the next time comes I'll flinch at every proposal

Silence
I'm old too Im tired of you It's why my head splits When you call me It's why my eyes are hollow When I look at you It's why I need escape So today A day I've waited for I stand over you Finally freed of you And I can finally speak One last favour And let you be remembered So fondly as I once saw you

To a husband
She knows it When you hiss You don't like her She has learnt you She knows she's just a toy For you, kitty! But for my scars They wish for vengeance For your capture So when you find yourself In a cage of your own making You should try to learn Not to hiss at The hand that feeds you

Hiss, kitty!
Your senselessness appears as ignorance to me Because it is so shocking That a perception so twisted Is preserved so incredibly How can you be so sure Of your words When try as you might To hold yourself with dignity Your youthful imperfections Shine through without fail

Ignorance
Advice cant be offered To heal your faults Impenetrable walls Like a fortress Remnants of a war never fought An internal war Don't feign your pain To the people you've pained Don't feign loyalty To the people you've left Just know that when you cry You've poisoned yourself

I'm sorry
My mother was a teacher a daughter and a wife She left before her time Left before I can recall Though routine Many pick me through; "Her face my inspiration" "Her personality my double" Treat me as her Treat me with regard I never earned My entirety is compared And my expression belittled to another's Leaving me soured A woman I had never known A legacy that I must fulfil My mother, who is me

My mother, who is me
Observer to which I promise Promise to you appreciation Sweeten me with voice Voice thoughts so admirable Though I am unwavered A buoy still with the tides I wish to one day value this Vanity, if you will As much as I value complexities Morality and coping Intelligence and capacity And when you, observer Promise me appreciation I will let comments so sweet Ruffle my tides of mind
