Profoundly Wrong
I swear everything is wrong in this world
I've known this forever but it doesn't stifle me
Though I know it should
I am stupid
Everything is wrong but I still want the answers
They kill me every time
I just can't let them go
So profoundly dumb
Until I am grasping onto something
That is so intangible
I want the reasons and the answers
Twisted and contored things
Like a boa wrapping around my neck
I want them without the heartbreak
Without the tears
The air is leaving my lungs
Just once
Without the disappointment
I want to hear the answers that I deserve
Please just once
I'm on my knees begging
But it'll never happen
And it kills me
On the inside and out
Like a knife digging into my heart and ripping my flesh
It tears me to pieces
It pours out like paint
It takes me a moment to realize it is my blood
All over the floor
Before your feet
In those pumps
The red ones you always wear
Every time.
I’ve forgotten what self-esteem feels like
Care to remind me society
I am helpless defenseless
Right where you want me
Where you'd always planned
Or have you all suddenly disappeared
You are right your plan worked
With flying colors
You face me now
Along with everything
And you take out the knife retracting it slowly
I have
Like you want me to remember this moment
All the pain agonizing my screams
ever known.
Then you do something peculiar
You let me go.
