Why
Why
Do I have to feel like this
Why
Do you always do this
Why, please tell me why

My ship is sinking
And I can't help thinking
I'm gonna drown again
In the ocean of my tears

Why oh tell me why

You said what you said
Theres no going back

Don't tell me you're sorry
When I'll have enough strength to attack

Yet you talked behind my back
You talked and you talked
Why, please tell me why

And I'm dying
Again, I'm crying
Yet you keep on saying
"Poor him, sad being"
Why, oh tell me why

And you think I don't know
And you think it's all right
But it's not, it's really not
And I'll tell you why

Nobody cared when I was crying
Nobody cared when I was dying
Nobody cared when I had something to say
"Seen" was all you did
"Seen" is what you do
To ignore the **** I'm going through

And I'll forgive, even forget
Why? I don't know

Why. Just tell me why

where do you go
when you shrink yourself
so small?

sometimes i imagine
when you shrink
into this fragile thing,
in some far away place
the pieces of your self you hid
are growing exponentially,
a garden in full bloom.
in another world you are a giant
Alicia Moore Oct 2020
I do not think,
because from there I sink
into the depths of the poison I drink.
smaller and smaller I shrink
until one day I cannot unlink...

I am sensitive;

If you hurt me,

I'll shrink...




If you hurt me;

I'll shrink...

But I'll grow!




I'm sensitive;

My growth will hurt you...

I've my thorns.




I'll shrink;

I'll never stop growing;

I'm a plant  "touch me not"!
It's about life or plant..

You will never know the scars my heart bears for all it had shared it did always dare to shrink a bit now i am not sure if theres a heart left.
You kept taking piece of my heart everytime you hurt me now i am not sure if theres a heart left.

you were knitted together before the world first heard your cries
and you were born whole
you were made to break barriers
never to hide behind the shadow of a man
it is time you stop trying to shrink yourself to conform to the world's ideals
you are a walking contradiction
both peaceful and wild
delicate and resilient
remind yourself you do not need his arms when you were given two of your own
do not let them burn out the flames within your soul
you belong only to yourself

i leave your office feeling like i’m on top of the world
but then i feel the world on top of me
you can only help me when i’m in that office
Eleanor Rigby Jul 2018
Times moves
Like waves.

It comes and goes,
Elongates and
shrinks.

It doesn't exist.


-- Eleanor
Shrinking as I wait for my shrink
Minuscule in appearance
Skyscrapers overshadow
Obsolete rock with tiny feet
Plants feed off the heat from nearby concrete
Each brick cemented by century
Droplet from the sky is opposite
Magnifies true irrelevance
Cross legged at the cross walk
Visitor at the cross road
Flickering light bulb thrives in day
At night it diminishes
At night it's just a fade
