Like a lamb to the slaughter She drags along her daughter Unaware of the blood behind her Her chest scraping the gravel ground She pleads out to her mother Let me walk let me free Looking straight ahead The mother says Don't you dare bother me

Child Beggar
The audacity Of your tongue To be shaped like a flower But to speak like a serpent The animosity Of my chest It heaves each time your near You pollute my very air Disgust and contempt Don't begin to explain How much I seeth When I hear your vile name

Is This Love
Eyes are on you Stolen glances A chill air fills the room Their bodies turn away They turn to whisper You wish you could hear what they say As though the walls grew Thicker Closer You feel your legs turn to move Nearer to the exit In your mind Your invite has burned to ashes As you go to leave A sarcastic voice hums "Please stay, your presences matters"

Pushed Out
Looking deep in your eyes I see colour but no life You smile vacantly at me As though you have nowhere to be You tell me you're fine For your connection I pine You used to let me in Now talking to you is a sin Where have you gone What have I done wrong I reach for your touch Maybe I'm too much

Alive But Dead Inside
The version of me you never met Was the best secret that I ever kept False smiles and a witty joke You'll never see past the positivity cloak Why would I tell you I'm not fine When you don't let me in your mind Hair up and makeup done You'll never see me in the evening sun Meals prepped, trash stashed away You hear only what I want to say Even this account is best kept private If you knew my truth, you'd never survive it

You'll Never Know Me
I had a dream about you It wasn't sad, it wasn't joyful It wasn't even blue Oddly I dreamt of you as villian Hands around my brother's neck Eyes full of cruel intent Though the nightmare left me shaken I'd rather dream of you again Than be rudely awaken

Goodbye
Saying too much Doing too little Looking into his eyes Left your bones brittle Known them one moon cycle What the hell are you doing You crave his attention He's not a steak or pudding Starve yourself It's the only way To rid yourself of an I love you Straight away

Entangled
You are loved You are kind That's what they say to say You are strong You are driven That's what they preach Affirmations only go so far When your beliefs have left a scar.

You are beautiful
Fences built from deadlines Purpose made from sacrifices The illusion of freedom is just that A silhouette of the our souls bleeding

Trapped
In a world full of daggers I want to be a flower I know I will get cut I know I will be torn out But how can I live life as a dagger Without a chance to grow again
