Inside her Mind

You call this space my mind

I call this space prison.

Something like a prism with chains

I attempt to escape but everyday my life remains the same.

What a shame,

How I repeat yesterday but expect things to change.

I clasped on walls of water

While I cried into concrete emotions

A foolish past

Yet we strive for us to remain because deep rooted is our fear of change.

If things changed then our emotions would switch

I would realize that this its for me and I’d back out this mess and leave.

Then where would we be?

Somewhere happiness existed

Leaving this miserable mindset behind

How Love can be so hurtful

Causing us to constantly cry.

How about I put aside pride

So we can take a step to the right?

How about I admit to the world my imperfections…

One

I trust no one for once upon a time a guy lied

Two

I dream of being the model of perfection

But somehow I ran into the wrong direction

Three

I dream of the relationship where you’d understand that I fear

Sharing space with a man

Four

Four….

I can’t believe I’m letting this list escape my mind and seep through my small lips

Face this.

Lets continue…

I hate the way I love so intense

I roll up life and worry myself to death

Until I explode like this.

This list is not complete but I can’t let you have all of me

For you might try to use my imperfections against me.

Let the rumors die

For this soul that lives inside isn’t separate from the sin of my pride.
