my poem:
I wanna be the psychotic girl
You tell them crazy stories about
The one dxing to be wifed
With too much freedom
She’s ends up acting like a man
Distant daddy
Manic mommy
Leaves the baby girl to chase loving
Bottomless void
Fills her lungs up with whatever burns
The cheapest candy
Gets you the most messed up
The only home she ever knew
She wears on her scrawny back
Lit cxg between perfect teeth
Someone took good care of her
Yet, her brain still broke
By her own decisions or was it foul play?
No want to apologize
No need to bow down
And praise an invisible man in the sky
All he did was pxnish her family
She prays for a better tomorrow
Yet, won’t crxck her habits
She’s been burning since 22
Artificial highs
Deceitful deeds
She’s living in hxll
While inhabiting a body
I tell him he doesn’t have to be nervous
He’s actually excited
The tent in his ripped jeans, speak volumes
He’s fantasized of girls like me
“Too pretty, they must be thorns”
Bites my leaking lips
Pulls me in…
Sticky hair
Salty skin
Soft sin
Collecting the smell of men
And wearing it as perfume
Forget myself, my thoughts, my mind
And let myself be prxyed upon
Like a rabbit, lacking willpower
The type of girl who’ll break your heart
On purpose
