A willow tree.
people have asked me why I am
I've answered every inquiry with precision
to say it simply however
I am because I was
everyone is because of who they once were
so when I scowl naturally
it's because I'm scared of you
if I cry on command
it's because I'm used to being hurt
if you see me alone and quiet
don't talk to me just to feel better about you
if I'm shaking
I'm having another panic attack
if I stop singing
it's ptsd from the time someone told me that I couldn't and shouldn't
and now it's a rarity if I even do
