Struggles

keeping quiet
saying nothing
forgotten
trying not to prick

yet wanting so much
to be seen and heard
remembered
trying not to prick

i will be fine
i will be well
just trying not to dwell

set me free
set me free
from the cage in my heart
locking me

will i be honoured
will i be held up
i want to not impress
but for u to be happy with me

my mind is sick
my mind is needy
Dove
bring change to my heart
u can and only u can
Dove
i know u hear me

Emotional Vomit

left by the wayside
it hurts
u left me there

clinging to what was
it hurts
u left me there

ur patronizing smile
endlessly pricking me
it hurts... again

let me sleep
let me breathe
let me live
