You take me… to new heights
You raise me… to tree tops Gazing at … moon drops
Naming the stars for me
Calling me…serenity
But soon… do I realize
This necklace is a collar
This collar is your fingers
Muzzling me to death
Stifling every breath
I shared my heart with you!
I unlocked my voice …and all I went through
Yet you behave just like the rest…
Holding me out from safety
Teasing to drop me
Freely…into nothing
Then- pulling me in and asking…
“How are you feeling?”
I shudder to a revealed illusion
You should wear your God granted honor, like you wear a suit and tie
….Ironed and tight- with head held high
Do not speak the word “love”
As you simultaneously squish …my being like a bug
A pest under your foot
You think I will go along with that?
I will rise up!
And have my own back
I fly down this tree
Like a swift kitty cat
Keep your plastic alibis
Keep my tears that lived in me and…died in your hands
Keep it all!
I am gone
Faster… than you can stand.
