Too Much
 May 2013 Angelique

I'm tired of being accused
Being used
Being shown the way to do things
I ask for help
And what's to show?
Except the insults that make my ears ring
I'm not the bad guy
At least not much
And you continue to treat me as such
I'm tired of being accused
Being used
Being told that I'm too much

Forgotten

To forget the memories that keep us alive
as fast as the moment takes us I think of you
How transient the present becomes as life slips away
wishing I could do more I remain helpless looking through the mist of time
I remember what to do...
I lie in bed at night,
And my hand rests in the dip between
My ribcage and my hip.

And if my fingers were larger,
And longer,
It could be your hand there.

In the morning, I crawl out of bed
And I fancy I'm your lioness,
Hair ruffled, stretching for the sun,
All gold, all lonely, while you play with others of my kind.

I don't want to be your fantasy
I don't want to be your queen
I'm tired of feeling desired
I'm tired of being seen

If I looked after the earth,
I'd burn it in passionate flames.
Bones inherit the soil,
not left a soul to claim.

The scent of rotting flesh,
brings essence to the finish
Life becomes extinct --
& so has the world within it.

Rich in confinement,
I slowly grow deranged.
Soon am I to join them,
hearken shrieks of the claimed.

My name is a song to them,
lost to genocide's insanity.
The voices in my head would claim;
"This is your new reality."

The grand rite performed,
& all has been fore-said.
I am to dine and dance --
with the souls of the dead.
