i cry for reality to sweep me up in ashes
affirm that this was never real
there will be no one mourning my absence
i crave to submit to darkness eternally
never to ask about shadows where light exists

i try to remember
who's hand first touched my innocent skin
not my doctor or my mothers hand
the touch that on one end innocent and the other intimate
i try to remember who was first

somedays i can't stand the weight of clothes on my body
feels like soft hands
with ill intentions
with a motive
i can't stand covering up the invisible bruising

if anyone would listen
id yell
can you see them?
can you see the hands?
they rest upon me when im alone

the hands doubled and tripled
as my innocence swept away
i still don't now who's hands were first
who's hands have bruised me in places
blind to everyone but me

can i tell you about the war inside of my head? sometimes it feels like this pain is ingrained inside of me. even when the channel is blank im tortured by the static & sound of nothingness. you know the sound, and the picture of the old tv. its almost like ive been tied down and forced to watch it for days and my brain is trying to remember something, why cant i remember? like somehow i know a life changing secret and my body needs the clarity, so im always back to the nothingness, the static. the easiest way to figure out the difference between my anxiety and intuition is that my anxiety sounds like an aggresive version of myself, like me but on fire. her voice is stoic but i feel the anger. she yells at me demanding me to believe what she says like any pathological liar and for that i resent myself often.

no one ever taught me to feel
only to never do it aloud
im always surrounded by those
too busy to help me
but love to see me smile
i never understood
why people want
not work
until i felt real hurt
and slept
while everything got worse
my pain came mailed to my place
with no return address
it clung to me so tight
im forced to call it mine
violating my body
but never tying the knot
making difficult to know
whats real or whats not
the river refuses to drown me
just forces me to float along
passing by many sights
that may or may not be home
feeling adult pain
before i could sign a lease

i am not graceful
or light on my feet
i am me
i am not modest
not one bit discreet
i am me
i cry too much
i lose lots of sleep
yet, i refuse to swallow defeat
my heart is heavy
way too heavy to be lifted
ive lost many pieces
the miracle is that im living
i am not curvy enough
i am not beauty
i am me
i lend my all
and watch them leave
i am me

I need reassurance
I need confirmation
A daily reminder
And a weekly gesture
Simply because I am weak,
insecure,
and doubtful.

I want you to know that I need attention
Lots of it
And I want you to find my cool spot
When I'm a burning flame.

And if you call me needy
I don't think you need me.
I need love
I need affection.
Your attention is my goal
Give me your protection.
It's so hard wanting someone to love you the way that you want.
