Were I not a woman?
If I fit your beliefs?
If I bent to your will?
If I abandoned my ambitions?
I will never sway in your
hot air breeze
that you create with your
crumbling lungs of dust and age.

Would it change anything if I did?
My grandfather told me it isn't ladylike to have such high ambitions.
Casse-toi.

The Need

Have you seen me...

the blind man at the gate
the ******* beside the pool
as the angel stirs the wake
the wife and mother who's
lost everything she had
who now relies on others
for the blessings that are left

Have you heard of me...

the woman at the well
who is in search of love
far beyond herself
the lost and lonely beggar
still here to this day
with his last hand out
before it is too late

Do you know me...

the one caught in another's bed
go and throw your stones
if there are any left
the ***** at a distance
shunned by society
aren't we all the same here
when it come's to needs

Relying on...

the God who loves all of me
just as I am
knowing he's my greatest need
the one that I turn to
my shelter when I'm weak
knowing full well in all of this
that he loves all of me

Listen !
I know you try surviving
Listen !
I am not surviving
Listen !
You and I can not be apart
Listen !
You love me so do I

Listen ! I plead !!

Come in a way
Give my life back
I plead , stop


Love - Listen !!
There is a stone cage
Built slowly, over years
Broken down again and again
Foul hands digging into its carcass
Rending, tearing, destroying
To get at the sweet nectar of my soul
Blood dripping from hands
I love you i'm sorry I love you
Walls laced with iron and steel
Less malleable, less breakable
Build and build and build
He says he wouldn't hurt me
Such savagery is beyond him
But I know his type
The ones with the blue eyes
And the soft lips and the warm hands
Inside they're cold cold cold
Getting close enough to kiss
Before the torture starts
My walls will not be molded
For him to climb over and into me
I'll bleed him first if it means
He is too tired to hold me
**for i will never be harmed again

I'm delusional of love,
peaked at its surface.
scrapping away all doubts,
leaving oneself as a believer
in one simple matter.
