Misery
Oh how I dwell in this misery
It's inherited by a common curse, it runs through my veins like hot lava
My brain is basked in it's full blown glory
My teeth are worn, chipped
your snores haunt me in my sleep
I wake up to a cold reality
your cruelty dresses me ,my small frame
yet I look so elegant, tall in such shame
My eyes are lined so well, big and wide, almond shaped, filled with anger, still I look so pretty and harmless
My heart holds a harness full of old ashes
It consumes my soul, leaving it halfway dead!
I smile like this is a fairytale, I'm waiting on the happy ending to come...anytime now please!
There's no happy ending to this, I taste the poisoned sweet apple
I bite it and it's rotten midway, so bitter yet crisp
It's hard to swallow and then I shoved it down my closed up throat
I choke but I survive, my body protects me, but my belly is bloated with pain
This is something I can't explain or justify
The whole world would judge me, "off with your head" I hear them scream,ungrateful foe
One minute, one second , just one instant in my shoes, would blister the feet of the brave one that might take up the challenge
It's hard to run, it's even worse if I walk, the pain is slow
I crawl on my bony knees, they bleed from such abuse
No one can hear my prayers, my screams are silent chants
She glances at me with a puzzling look, like there's no answer to this
My wings are being ripped out slowly, piece by piece day by day, all these years
My body is sore, my limbs feel weak
I wonder when this feeling will burn down? I feel like my heart is on fire
Yet I feel numb from the cold splash of the icy water on my face, even in July
I have been robbed, cheated out of happiness
I carry a burden that doesn't belong to me
It's heavy, rubbing slowly against my bare back
I bleed inside, internally i'am damaged...thanks to you, my misery.
