Who are you? Trying to let the anger fade, But it throbs like a bruise, You were here Almost a fluttering moment But I feel that your mind was never there
By Tammy Gomez6 years ago in Poets
Who are you? That sad girl in the mirror No sense of self-worth Shaken, cold, angry, alone Fluttering constantly Need a restart
Sitting on the brink, Who would have known? Or thought to think? Nobody sees the side That hides behind the mask, Smiling and proud
She’s building it Unknowingly Through words and liquid Has the toxin replaced her blood? Does she not see she’s falling apart?
Here and now— Tough Perhaps more so than you think Calming the constant swirling inside What if? What if? What if? Past, future, present
Slurred bedtime stories Turn to sour goodnight kisses Help me, help me She cries out But mama’s 5 in with 7 more to go And daddy’s not home
It hurts To know you’re not there for me It hurts To know you’re never going to be It hurts That you don’t understand
Do you see it? All the color flashing Bright lights, sirens shrill Oh, I’ve had my fill Smell of burnt rubber Tossed back
I wanted to love you I tried so hard Yet you’d rather put your heart Towards that tainted liquid It's engulfed you can’t you see?
You’re in control of the creature Not the other way around Spinning stories and weaving tales Clouding your mind, It poisons your thoughts
I looked in your eyes didn’t realize they were filled with lies, Do you even know who we are? We are not dolls we’re not play things
I feel like a complex puzzle The feelings I’ve tried to muzzle But I’m missing a piece One that nearly everyone has I see it every day all these puzzles put together
