Don't go looking
for bread from an
starving man
when he cant even feed himself.

Esther L. Krenzin

it seems as though
only a month ago
i would **** for you.

I am becoming
awakening
stirring the flames that I subdued for you
cultivating the embers
that ate away at my innards

When did I allow
my fangs to produce honey
when venom was what I needed
to stand up for myself?

Too long I’ve tarried
in the shadows
shedding one skin only to don another
caught between a disguise of who I am
and who they want me to be

Esther L. Krenzin

Nothing I ever do goes right,
I wish I could bleed till my face turns white,
Wouldn't that be quite the sight,
I could even do it in the middle of the night,
I feel like I am worth less than a dollar,
If u need encouragement don't give me a holler,
I know not why I am alive,
All I know is there is no way to thrive,
MY LIFE IS
DEPRIVE
DEPRIVE
!DEPRIVE!
