My red hair so frizzy
My dry skin so fair
I've always wondered
Why people stare

My off-white teeth
protrude from my face
I don't deserve admiration
I'm an utter disgrace

My body so curvy
My cheeks so chubby
I will never understand
How anyone could love me

As I lay in my bed
With tears in my eyes
I pray
One day
My shell
Will match my lovely insides
But you're lovely from within
- Die Antwoord

I warned you
But you were confident
You'd be able to handle the ride
Because I am the face of truth
I do not tell lies
I bare every emotion on my flesh
I have nothing to hide
And nothing scares a man more
Eyes so wide
Than a woman so real
Due to his ego and pride
So run terrified man
Your lack of strength
You cannot hide
Like all the others
Lie to yourself
Say that you tried
For I am alone again
And I'm sure many tears
Will be cried
Until the next one approaches
Uncowardly
With arms open so wide
Until my passion
Also leaves him terrified

It's that timeĀ 
Where I was brought here
Without a say
And year after year
I'm guilted to stay
People feel obligated
To celebrate my day
But the other 364
Want me to fade away
So I beg of you please
If I get one wish
Please
Just leave me astray
Perri Aug 2017
I'm going to push you
So far away
With every force in my body
And curl back up into the little ball
I call home
Because it is safe in here
And the shell grows stronger
With every man who leaves me reaching
Until one day
It is impenetrable
Please just go away

Fan
I keep my fan running all year
because the noise
keeps my roommate
from hearing me cry
And the breeze
keeps me cool
to remind myself
I'm undeserving of someone's warmth

My heart is so full
there's warmth crawling up my spine!
You're holding on tight;
it's truly sublime,
the heat starting to rise
as we lay intertwined.
At first so scared
but it's different this time.
You're grazing my chin
thighs
waistline
with words so gentle
and kisses so fine
yet so robust
your hands
and jawline;
a perfect design.
The days I lay cold,
dark and controlled,
I choose to resign.
For you, the calm lake,
and I, the fickle skyline;
opposing elements
that are perfectly aligned
but also a contrast
that is beyond the divine
for I am relieved
I get to call you mine.
I am starting to see the light.

I'm crying out for help
But I'm invisible
My pleas are going unnoticed
I need reassurance
So instead, I scream
While flailing my arms
In a dance on the edge of death
No one is watching my performance
So I decide to wail
Sweat is dripping down my face
As I beg for someone to hear my pain
My soul is aching and I need help
Please someone rescue me
You will feel guilt
When you realize I was begging
And you turned a blind eye
But by then
It will be too late
