dusty emotions

Written by Diana Garcia

My brain waves are like a storm

I wish i could sit in silence

I wish i wasnt so ******* torn

I tried to understand you but whats the use

it's my turn to talk but will you listen?

When you look at me what do you see

Your daughter, your sister or am I the punching bag that youve been missin'?

let me show you the scars you gave me

those wonderful gifts

that keep me up at night

the reoccurring hate

those angry tears.

All the times i went hungry

cause i refused to come home for years.

Over and over again i was told.

Theres nobody to blame other than myself.

YES! cause it is I who but my well being up on the shelf.

Ive checked out, to this i do admit.

I am numb and I simply exist.

How can I love, hate, or any of those words in the adjective list

when all I know is how to roll with the punches, how to roll with waves in the stormy ocean with all these god **** dusty emotions..
