my lips remember things
yours wanted to forget
and it's hard to fall asleep at night
when even in my dreams
you don't love me back
Some to appreciate beauty must see the best of the best
the immeasurable
the greatest heights
The treasure of all men
something to covet and keep hidden

And some
my dearest
can glimpse perfection
in raindrops
and dandelions
or his smile as the dawn breaks
Mesmerized by your appearance
I can’t take my eyes off of you
Like another planet full of light
You come close,  give color to the night
You see everything that’s happening on this Earth
So much darkness so much pain
Want to swing to bring me closer to you
You’re the eye of God, watching
Everyone that do harm, who is to blame.
All I want is whisper to you,
you’re my Moon.
Tell you all my secrets and my name too.

Maybe it will hurt a little less,
If I agree that yes I am a mess.
You say I don't know how to behave,
Be the perfect daughter for you to showcase.
Dad, I am not perfect and certainly not brave.
Mom, You live in hollow society and break my soul for your society.
Why must I die every day? my dreams sacrificed in every way
So that you can have your rules sailed and kingdoms to hail.
You say the biggest honor you did to me by giving me life
I must adhere to your command like a puppet, eat the meal, and compromise.
But did it occur to you that your words are sharper than the knife,
And the long list of expectations is dimming my light.
How do I paint my life ?
when I don't dream in colors.
My failures are the loudest silence,
I have ever sat with
A botched attempt at interpretation.
I know people with problems
that medication can't fix.
I know people who went to the doctor
and went to the doctor
and went to the doctor
and racked up their bills
and ****** up their minds
and came out of the office
worse.
I know people who spend half their lives
trying to undo the damage.
I know people who would wish to inscribe:
Medications can **** you,
even if it's prescribed.
