Deleted
Because I could 
Deleted because I had to

Empowerment
False advertisement
I don’t know
But I delete it…

Words too early
Too deep
Too raw.
Wish I hadn’t.
Can’t take them back
But I can
Delete it


You’ll wonder 
And I’ll never explain
Cuz that’s the way I am
Because I do
Because I can.

Don’t sing or dance 
When you’re around
But as soon as you’re gone
I sing and dance
Because I can
And write write write

Im shy
You’re the scariest thing 
I’ve ever come across
Some poisonous plant
Strange place to get lost

All my words are deleted
To prove my control
You probably thought 
My words were too mainstream
Well, now they’re gone
To you…deleted
