Malia Mar 2020
The world revolves around the sun.
Not me, or you, or anyone.
You’ve got me wrapped around your thumb.
You seem queenly to the human eye
But it beats me how you seem to defy
All rules, all laws, no matter how they try
To rope you down, you get away every time.
You run and run, up and down the *****,
Why do you run? What do you hope?
Are you running away from a confidant?
Is there something better that you want?
The world revolves around the sun,
But our worlds are anchored by loved ones.
Malia Mar 2020
You wear faces like a mask
You hide feelings in a cask
Your countenance is set like stone
Sharp eyes, glass shards, to become renown.

Isn’t exercise supposed to make you feel better about yourself?
I must be doing something wrong, then.
Malia Mar 2020
Up to 60% of the human body is water.
I must have much more than that,
Because it keeps on leaking
Out of my eyes.

Logic
Seems so illogical
When you try
And justify
Your emotion.
Malia Mar 2020
I am sick
Of everything
Being the same.
I am sick
Of people lying
And lying
And lying to me.
I am sick of having to tell
People what they want to hear.

I am sick
So sick
Don’t come near me
I’m contagious.
Malia Mar 2020
Isn’t it exhausting
To always be afraid?
No wonder I am always tired.
