Shelly 3m
I can see myself in the mirror
through those eyes
Those are my red lips
My brown hair and eyes

I can hear the lyrics being sweetly sung
As my body moved to the rhythm of the song
The warmth on my skin from the sun

She uses my body and lives my life
She wears my clothes and my shoes
She makes love to my husband
She mothers my children oh so lovely
She fits in so perfectly
But, she isn't me

Can someone hear my screams and cries
Can someone notice that she isn't me
Can someone rescue me from inside
Can someone notice I have no control of my body
I'm locked away in my mind

I can't stand the sound of her voice
Dont listen to her words she is an imposter
I can hear her words over and over
"I am Emily"
But that isn't me

I want out of this imprisonment
I don't know this Emily
I want my life back
I don't know this Emily
I want my husband and kids
I don't know this Emily

I can't stop hearing her torturing voice
"I am Emily"
I am not her, she isn't me
I'm not Emily

-Shelly Ramos
twist and turn
scream and burn
take a match to my mind
trapped
and still i yearn
the fear
that binds the wall
that hides the truth
is non logical
but rational

divides the self
and keeps me aloof

must be named
but not shamed
to make me whole

it serves a use
that has no use

fear is the function
of the wound
the causation of confusion
and its taken root
Can there be a time,
Where we sit down in deep night,
To be honest and alone,
Saying everything we wish we could.

Can there come a day,
Where we just sit and talk,
So I can tell you how I love you,
And plan all the things we're going to do.
संबंध बड़े कोमल होते हैं
ये बनते बनते,बनते हैं
थोड़ी सी गफलत
हुई नहीं कि
धरधराकर
रेत से झर
जाते हैं,
यह
कभी हो
नहीं सकता कि
ये फिर से दृढ़ता की
डोर में बंध जाएं,
हम पूर्ववत
बेतकुल्ल्फी से
एक दूसरे से
खुलकर
मिल पाएं !
अब
आप ही बता दो
हम परस्पर
विश्वास को
दृढ़ करें
कि लड़ें !
क्यों न हम
एक दूसरे से
सहयोग करें ,
परस्पर
पुष्पित पल्लवित
होने के मौके
मयस्सर
करते रहें ,
आगे बढ़ें ,
सुध बुध
लेते रहें,
ताकि
दृढ़ होती रहें
संबंधों की जड़ें !
संबंध नाजुक होते हैं ,
गफलत हुई नहीं कि
ये मुरझा जाते हैं !
ऐसे में
सब तने तने रहते हैं !
भीतर , भीतर कुढ़ते रहते हैं !
न चाहकर भी
अंदर सहम भर जाता है !
अनिष्ट का वहम भरता रहता है !
आदमी हरपल सड़ता रहता है !!
