They either say "We'll spend some time" Or they say "Well, never mind" Is it the apostrophe That makes us we? Or is it a mentality That sets us free To changes And ranges Of open thoughts and feelings That bring us together Until negativity starts stealing And our connections we sever
We'll feel well After escaping the hell That is the difference between well and we'll But they will not be the hands that heal When they act like adding the apostrophe Is tantamount to apostasy So they wield sabres Of different flavors Like the shallow gravers And the glow stick ravers That look good on paper Until they are erased When I need their embrace I'm left hanging Like an apostrophe Putting me down Into a comma coma Leaving holes in me Like a drama stoma Constricting Like a mama boa
You're your apostrophe When you take away being And turn something into a possession You channeled my overt obsession Then punctuated with aggression The end of our sentence
I can't survive this period of my life When savages cause serious strife By adding small marks to me Until it becomes too dark to see In the shadow of their apostrophe
