I feel like starting a fight I feel insecure I need you to answer the question burned into my retina and the wrinkly tissue of my mind It is scribbled all over in whispers and in shouts But there is only one answer I can believe And that answer would B R E A K M E Shatter me Beyond repair No amount of kintsugi could fix me

Not even kintsugi
Do you love me as much as I love you? Have I put you on a pedestal too high for me to reach? I don't know who to pity more Me or you We have chained or lives together By law and by blood My home is you But I feel like an unwanted house guest Is it me who has changed? Am I no longer worthy? I miss the fire in your eyes The warmth that would radiate to me And I feel like I am going ******* crazy Have I fulfilled my purpose To be a mother and a wife Should I be disposed of now? I am suffocating on my own anxiety

Did your love run out?
I dont like being a mother, but I love being yours In this little world, population two or three is a heavenly place to be But I don't like what motherhood has done to me How it has weakened my body High-jacked my time How I now belong in a different crowd Where we are all the same but different And I've never been lonelier without ever being alone What a strange thing it is to create a life ******* your own life force dry I will always love you even if I loose my mind

Motherhood
There was a time where I was desperate Desperate to prove that I could be desired That it was an option for me I found someone to prove my thesis And got blinded thinking it was all about the boy Thinking that he was my savior I got clingy I didn't want to loose this anomaly Because surely that was all it was, an anomaly So I clung to him not realizing That feeling I wanted was a part of me Not him Me letting myself be seen instead of skulking in the shadows Me grabbing my own power He was nothing but the first And oh, how he pales compared to the last

Desperate times
There is something about becoming a mother that makes you examine the crimes of your own I do not feel safe with you My intact body does not equal an intact mind When I look at you I don't see my mother You stopped being all that that encompasses a long time ago Calling me out for being shy when in fact I was just lonely Believing I was not worthy of the space I took up Believing my strength was only in being good, performing well and tending to others Forgetting that I too had a voice The ability to speak not just listen You didn't protect my peace You didn't protect my sanity And you didn't not teach my how to do it on my own Maybe you thought my tear streaked face was just my face You put me in a position where I shared your roll as a mother Caretaker of the entire house And in that teaching me that I was only valuable in what I could give But not valuable enough to receive I am glad I have a son He will not have to hide his body in sweaters too warm for the season He will not be subject to your view of what it means to be a woman He might actually be as confident and self-loving as your own son There is only so much oxygen in a room And I wish you had raised me to believe I could have some But your biggest crime of all is making me believe that it was laughable that I could be loved

I need to see your love And I don't know how to ask for it because I don't know if it is there Sei la ragione di ogni mio sorriso I love you to the very core of my being Can you say the same?

I need you
I don't know where those people went. Somehow they are missing and there are others living in their skin Someone else is controlling her breath feeling her sweat as she is building, building walls higher than ever seen She is right there, but still She is missing

I stand before you Completely bare You've never been like this You've never been this naked Even though I've seen you without clothes You've never been this bare
