I can't tell all about it

Just yet I've discovered my place

Far behind in the woods

An echo restless calls

               

                I can't stand when

I'm weary

                Can't hunger when

I don't care about substance

Lingering visions of more important tears

Not for me               but her

                The one that can't speak

She's locked in a little place

                Never been given water

                                can't grow

Mindless AND conniving

                But really just a child

Interior blues don't fade

                like my eyes with my moods

                The stones aren't set

The time passes

                                BUT SLOWLY

                daughter of misery

Do you want to play?

                                GO AWAY

                                                come back

I can't help but misunderstand

                When that's all that anyone's ever done.

                don't know how to be "just right"

Just my mama's excuse

                &

everyone else's "not quite good enough."
