"earth"
without "art"
is just "eh"

he looked at me
like no other
as if he could see
the stars in my eyes
the other guys saw me
as a piece of meat
but he looked at me
with love in his eyes

Dear Daddy,
Do you know what these men say to me?

With their
eyes and their mouths
when I walk on the street.

With a grin and a nod
and a look up and down.
A wink and a kiss
and a cat call heard from downtown.

With my skirt short
and my top
low,
It’s a cold world daddy
and no
doesn’t mean no.

Daddy do you know
how these men look at me?

Like I’m a piece of meat
strutting down the street?
With my head buds in
and my favorite song on.

I’m asking for it Daddy,
I’m in the wrong.

Do you know how it feels
not to wear what I like?

To walk a little faster
when I’m alone at night?

Daddy the world is my predator
and I am it's doe,
Daddy what happens
when I can’t say no?

how do i love others the same way
i loved you now i am broken
i can't give the love
i gave you
back to  
him

im sinking
in the baggage
i carry

sometimes peoples minds are to closed to understand the complexity of you
they are to insignificant to see the casums you create
to stuck on earth to see the universe you carry on your shoulders
their spirit is too weak for yours
and that's okay
not everyone deserves to taste your soul

that boy
remembered my name
that boy
spoke kindly to me
that boy
waved at me when he saw me out
that boy
apologized for himself and his friends
that boy
expected nothing in return
that boy
changed my life
