Poem

By Kevin Robey
July 15, 2014

My skin's so tight, I cannot breathe
The mirror deceives the voices in me
Screaming pleas for the masses to find
The desperate release inside of my mind

Grinding my teeth, smooth and flat in my sleep
The things that I do for the secrets I keep
Distracting my soul with fake angels and wings
Forgetting my dreams are hung by a string 

Crashing down with each emergency
Dying each time I face that raging sea
The buried parts of me and the pain that they make 
My fate to regret every piece of debris in my wake 

I scream in distress for every kiss I never took
The words I didn't say, never passed with a look
A voice I never knew was really mine all along 
But If I had slowed down, it would have felt wrong

Such a great price that I paid for the bed I have made
But I won't lose any sleep in the grips of a blade
So stay every day; I'll sleep when I'm dead 
Hope you beauty in the blood I have shed

The time that I spent in the depths of my lies
I'll never get back from that oppressive disguise
"Just be yourself" is what they will say 
Until they reveal their Disgust and dismay

Little kids stare in confusion and awe
Mothers alarmed like I'm breaking the law
My hair is too short, my shoulders too wide
For cosmetic aisles and I to coincide 

Too angry these days when time wastes away 
I've given too much to keep her at bay 
Unshackled and free, they'll call it disease 
Like it or not, I'll introduce you to me
