When I was little
All I did was love
A tiny vessel
Being confused but in love with every surrounding thing
But then this vessel grew up
Filled with hate and judgement from society
Filled with bitter notions and broken promises
And now this vessel stands here
Too full of the wrong things

I see the oppression
But they constantly whisper to me
"Be blind"

Never let an unacceptable
Become your equal

I'm losing the fight with my sanity

You were a ghost town
But I so badly wanted to be a resident

I am not whole
But slowly I'm pieces of myself
That I never knew I lost

I run from myself
Fast and breathless
I take a break often trying to recall what made me run
What me decide
To pick up my feet and take off
But I have nothing
