Becoming Small
you made me feel
so unwanted
like it was a chore
for you to love me
rejected, neglected
a child left alone
to figure things out
all on my own
you cast me aside
so I would find
crevices to fold
into and hide
where I could become
small and unnoticed and
silent
for hours on end
until you decided
it was finally time
to go back home
it’s time to go
now I shed old clothes ...

one day i will be with you
and yes
there will be
the usual grudges
imperfections
and more than bearable flaws
dear Mum
time
that inanimate enemy
i hope, gets lost forever
when am with you
and the man
who made
me
fucking around
and no good
is what i've made life
good to be at
but what matters
is that slipping time
whose grip, no one can hold
i want the world
to fade, away
you, him and i
and we wake up
on the judgement day
know reality
and gravity
means pass we...

this is why...
the only time I ever came to blows was in 6th grade
the popular girl used to bully me...daily
I never said a word
just silently took it
until one day she mocked my father
and I nearly ripped the hair off her pretty blonde head
got sent to the principal's office for my trouble
...completely unrepentant
he tried to tell me "we don't beat people up"
I said "maybe not
but you don't stop other crap from happening either
never stopped her from bullying me"
when asked why I never spoke up...I shrugged
and he asked...

Does It Matter?
Does it matter if I scream or whisper?
Would you hear me either way?
Or maybe I shouldn’t even strain my voice
What does it matter? You didn’t even stay.
Does it matter if I wait or leave?
Would you come for me either way?
Or maybe I shouldn’t even come at all
What does it matter? You’re always late.
Does it matter if I cry or stay unfazed?
Would you care either way?
Or maybe I shouldn’t even react
What does it matter? You’re doing A o-kay.
Does it matter if I live or die?
Would you actually mourn my passing? ...
Would you hear me either way?

What does it matter? You didn’t even stay.

Or maybe I shouldn’t even react
