people feel
and i feel
and they like the fact that i am real
broken barbie bruised skin
beautiful without, beautiful within
if you are abused with awareness,
spread your truth if you aren't careless
our minds are all that's left, old minds are all that's left

this world is a crooked fantasy
bent broken rust with busted teeth,
yellow, crooked, and miss-sized eyes
narcissists and ***** prizes
hurt people hurt people
and i don't care at all
if you don't learn from hurting me
it's another fist straight to your jaw

cause self-defense is different from abuse
and we haven't all healed
so please be gentle with the language that you use
and the soft truth will be revealed

all we really need is love
and to love each other
because that 10 out of 10 perfect Ken,
is so ****** up inside
he'll use you over and over again
coming and increasing his void

and everyone feels pain
but you still have a status
and you don't suffer like us at the bottom
so please humble yourself
give us **** poor beggers some shiny coin
with your face pressed into it

i'm going to create for myself
in my dystopian little world
inside my head, i'm a little girl
toes pointed in a dance
and our romance can last forever
cause when love works
and love is happy
it really is a fairy tale
have you ever seen a fairy's tail
wiggle when she's happy?

scrappy, scrappy
everything is so ******
so i take the metal
and make me a drum
i can cook up some trash beats
and feed my people
and dance to the music
i need my people

this is what poetry gives me
a community
i can be a weird outlet
years of weird words
that somewhat rhyme in my head
and others like it
somehow
im so fantastical
it's all to me
like a song that doesn't rhyme
but makes me feel so good

people feel
and i feel
and they like the fact that i am real
broken barbie bruised skin
beautiful without, beautiful within
if you are abused with awareness,
spread your truth if you aren't careless
our minds are all that's left, old minds are all that's left
