It’s ok
That you forgot
I’m used
To it

I’m fine
All alone
I’m used
To it

It’s good
In the silence
I’m used
To it

It’s life
Not my choice
I’m used
To it

You don’t know
My pain
You don’t understand
My choices
You don’t get
My reasoning
You don’t realize
My past
You don’t accept
My ways
You don’t fit
My path

I’m lonely
Though I’m not alone

I’m lost
Though I don’t wander

I’m sad
Though I’m smiling

I’m needy
Though I have enough

I’m angry
Though I’m calm

I’m done
Though I am beginning.

The world
Is on fire
Hate
Is trying
To win

All lives
Do Matter
Color
Is losing
The fight

This stand
Is important
Justice
Is needing
To be served

The calm
Must prevail
Honor
For a life lost
Without Violence

The wine
And the ****
Will get me
Through the night

The promise
And the words
Will get me
Through the day

The silence
And the loneliness
Will get me
Broken to pieces

I’m broken
This girl
You see
All put together

I’m lost
This girl
You see
Wondering paths

I’m tired
This girl
You see
Traversing oaths

I’m ok
This girl
You see
All put together

I hate how
You rush over me
With your heaviness
That I can’t resist

I hate how
You swallow me
In your blanket
That comforts me

I hate how
You linger inside me
With your promises
That make me hope
