I seem to be losing my mind. I hear faint screams, In the middle of the night, They sound like my mother's, Everyone says I am imagining it, I seem to be losing my mind. I see bruises, marks and scars, On the face of my mother, Dad says it's because she fell down the stairs, Mother must be very clumsy, Or I must be losing my mind. I was supposed to have a sister, But we lost her, T'was fate, tells grandmother, And no it wasn't she, who pushed mother, I am just losing my mind. I don't know, I died a year ago, I said things I shouldn't, You see, I lost my mind after all.

Lost my mind
I walk in , you look and stare . Your unaware that those glares make me feel uncomfortable . But that’s just what “ men are like today “ You comment on my hip  , bust and waist Measure my worth by how acceptable my face is And invade my space , because you have “something to tell me” Although I know exactly what your gonna say. You never fail to disappoint. I read your mind. Every single time  . Know  every line . You were trying to hook me with   But I am not your “ catch of the day “ How many other girls you threw your bait to and ended up devoured by your egos , selfishness and pride . How many of them were thrown back in the sea because you were still hungry so you searched for a bigger prize . That is not me . I won’t become her . So I ignore you Because how dare you ? Why should I accept you? Who gave you the right to treat me that way ? But all you reply is  “what a waste of a pretty face “ Then stormed out cause just like you measured my worth , I did the same to yours  and put you in your place But hey that’s“men today “
