Delusions

Jump off the ledge

You would be so happy

Jump off that ledge

There’s no need to be soppy

What is life?

But an endless trail of sadness

Join me and end it’s likeness

I am happy here I………promise

Come join me in my solace

Our Narrative

They came at night,

They told their stories in flight,

They risked it all to tell their plight.

We did not know from whence they came

And yet the truth in our stories were the same

Lies

I looked into your eyes as you lied

I beheld your smile as you tried

To clear the guilt from your face last night

There’s no need for pretense

It only makes things more tense

When I know you brought me to this mess

You were meant to protect

And yet you aimed to subject me to torment

How flawless your game was

Until you realized that I was

Not who you thought me to be.

The Strong Woman

I look out the window, with nothing left but the detail that you sold my heart out like retail.

Broken down by the words of your mouth, I blugeoned my spirit, thinking of wasted youth.

Refusing to be a token, refusing to be broken by the shards of lies that gave me midnight cries.

But I am what I am, a reflection of what life’s done. A hard but soft spoken woman, intimidated by a society that thinks I’m less than human.

For speaking of the abuse, for knowing I’m of more use than what they think I should be, than what they believed I could be.

If not for the Good News, I would’ve been broken down by their views, that I belong behind the pews.

With nothing to look at, nothing to behold but the disappointment in my soul.
