When you ask me who I am there's so many ways I could view it,
I'm a student, daughter, sister, teammate, musician, and a poet,
but it's the real me that you want and not the covers that I use,
It's the skin, the bones, my heart and mind, the memories that drive my muse.

I've seen things that could cause PTSD so I suppose I am a soldier,
I've survived drug addicts and angry drunks, however not a single mortar.
When you want the girl behind the curtain be mindful of your hopes,
sounds can't be unheard, neither words unread, nor memories unknown.

When...

Fuck you and your false promises.
Don't make another move, don't take a step closer.
I'm lying here on the floor giggling like a child.
Isn't that enough?
Isn't that what you wanted?

Always taking more.
Always stealing what you want.
Take my money, take my breath,
take everything I have.

Fuck you and this cancer that I have.
I want to put you down, but I can never get enough.
Get of my head.
Get out of my life.
Get out of my lungs.
Stay away from my mind.

I'm in a fragile state,
I have way too much to lose....
