My Verse versus Me

1. 

There's something about you...

Victims: victims get hurt

lay down and suffer in silence

or get victimised again

Survivors get up and beat the

death away with their severed limbs.

But you

You stand there, with a smile

as wide as a wound

and tell me to stop surviving,

and start living...

2.

Time and experience have clipped my love's wings

As a devolved version of my emotions crawls to you,

I hope you can accept this mediocre example

of what I used to be.

If I was given to fly, then I may, again.

But please, accept his grounded me

even though it's

subtractive,

tactless,

less...

3. 

As you walk barefoot inside

yourself

I hope you cut

Yourself

Just so I can see the bandage and know:

there are still shards of me inside of 

you.
