Am i not good enough?
I know that flickery flickery candles can last longer than my love for myself,
But is that why i am not good enough?
Is that why i drag a poem out of every wrong mouth,
Thinking that the mouths can feast on my words instead
Is that why the long chain of forced out words becomes the one that youd use to tie the loose ends of your worn out bag,
So that no one should really see it?
Why is my chain not a fashion accessory, but merely any accessory
Why did i tie wrap the chain around my heart and along my neck
That each heartbeat would bring a deep scar along my throat
What is it that went wrong?
My body? You say that now
That i don't fit into tight fit clothes of your gifted mind
Or, i'll wear them in your demon minds, but not in reality.
What do you know about drugs layering my body each day?
Why is this not good enough?
Is that because ive not let you see me inside out?
Why is it that i feel invisible?
Why is that my drowned self is being pushed down,
Till i am drained of all the life
And then, i am cold and blue?
Yes, i am cold and blue
And is that not good enough?
