39/F becoming inwardly free
I say I’m being kind to myself. Don’t stress over the mess. Maybe I should though? I try to push doubt away. But the mess consumes me. I miss pretty photos on the walls. I miss cozy spots to relax. I miss annoying visits from friends and family. I miss a kitchen ready to cook gumbo. And bake Birthday cakes If I want to. I miss laying in the grass under the cypress tree in the backyard. I miss space For Overnight Guests. The mess Keeps them at A distance Helps avoid demands That overwhelm When the mess consumes me I’m my own worst enemy. When does avoidance become neglect? I’m not settled I haven’t been For some time We live between our ears. I’m homesick For a place of my own That I’ve never Known. I’m only left with One voice inside my head That’s me I beg her Please stop Being So cruel.

the mess
Take me to The water Take me to The ocean Let the cold clear waves Crash into me Let me surrender To the cold waves Let them Knock me down Let them Hold me under Just a little longer Hold me under Just a little longer, yeah

to the water
my legs are closed now so it's all through to you you say: what a night you're fantastic well that was fun while it lasted I say: oh yeah it is was hot but let’s keep it casual My lips betray me I go numb I stare blankly Put a stupid Smile on my Face Blow air in my brain I thought I’d be okay Because its just a lay. I had a say, ok? despite my efforts to deny it, to hide it I’m coming unglued My heart in two because it's through to you I wonder your answers to the questions left behind in my mind what's your middle name? what time were you born? where do you take other girls on dates? am i just a flake, full of rage? do you have a favorite cursive letter? if you love someone, do you tell them? I think I’m starting to melt The tears, they well my mind set on fire because how dare you does your mama know you're a lying lush? do your bros know that you're a lousy **** will you remember me? i hope to forget you soon although it's doubtful Oxytocin hits Make it easier to pretend to forget Fill my cup up Again and again I indulge once more then on and on my heart is torn into 4, then 8 til it disintegrates I said: go on get gone don't make me late

Bettie The most emo girl I’ll ever know Bettie Her smile was a bright light At the Darkroom petite and sweet cute to boot Her kind green eyes found mine Full of tears and fear mascara smeared She took me by the hand She led me to the sound She pulled me in to dance and sing along to mad songs Played by her man and his band He planned a fallacy We sang loud, we screamed We jumped up and down And we were okay, lost in a rare moment But we woke up with no voice Our hearts crushed, was it lust? Were we really stupid ***** Perky **** with cotton candy wits, huh? It’s a good thing you’re so pretty Because you’ll find a man to marry As long as you keep Your mouth shut and your legs open Not too much Not too little I wish I could take away your pain Because it’s deep in me too #MeToo was too late for you It’s tragic it’s too late to relate kindred spirits separate No click click to get on with Left here holding the pain. They say you’re at peace I hope you are, you deserve it It was too much and it had to stop No one would listen now there is a spot missing For you on stage We should be singing together About how we’ve had enough We should be screaming together About their gaze and graze their misogynistic Mind games that Stole our innocence and buried us in shame You should still be here Putting men in their places I say wait, my heart breaks anger rises because Another one skates away They should be gone They should live with shame But they just skate away Why do I only relate with the ones below? Suicidal role models The world cries when it’s too late I heard your song but was too far away

Boy You better throw Me over your shoulder And lay it on me so thick Tell me all the ways that I glow Because I’m slipping Even JD and KB are starting To laugh at me

I like your style
A world where Cigarettes Are good for your Lungs And don’t smell Like smoke And knowledge Can be installed With WiFi Connected to your Brain Like digital Osmosis All the pleasures All the reward With no work

It’s morbid I know But I can’t Ignore it I can’t seem to Shake this Feeling That I’m Living On borrowed Time Destined To die young But keep trekking Down this Slippery slope

borrowed time
Katie runs around the tree Then into the open Laughing so freely But it took her through The ground And now I took that Oak to hold my Whisky sweet Because **** it I need it And Kelly went to the field to play But decided She couldn’t stay I hope they made it Where they were headed Because The weight took them Down too soon Into the ground Into the ground Into the ground
