Poison me with endless promises.
Tell me I’m worth nothing.
Shun my every hope so you can,
Feed my lust with something.
Tell me now that who I am
Is someone out of place.
Tell me that I’m negative.
That I am wasted space.
Send nausea to my every curve.
Wring my tears to pool.
Swim inside my adolescence.
Drown me in your cruel.
Pick me up and hang me
To dry inside your sorrow.
Tell me that this will be over.
I’ll be back tomorrow.
I’ll feel better, I’ll feel fine.
Say that I’m corrected.
Hold my shoulders in your arms.
Pretend that I’m protected.
Send my thoughts to lullaby.
Put my dreams away.
Strip me of my everything.
Let your lessons stay.
Dress me in your mourning silk.
Teach me to belong.
Prop me at the windowsill.
Hope that I stay strong.
Keep eyes on my preposition.
Prepare a different goal.
Know that I was different once
And now I’m part of whole.
