trauma shame triggered
how are you today?
one simple question
don't know what to say
answer honestly?
how dare you admit
way too sensitive
just get over it
don't be a downer
Melodrama drag queen
zip your pain up tight
don't be heard or seen
no one wants your truth
just convenient lie
wannabe life coach
sneers "but did you die?"
arrogant posturing
what did I expect?
demand but didn't
earn or give respect
you sermonize me
of minimizing
You're a fine one to preach
the Exaggerate King
you wanna talk courage?
bravely telling truth
I've died little deaths
daily since my youth
bled in many ways
by a 1000 cuts
honest conversation?
doubt you have the guts
we don't' say, do we
how the killer was you
snuffing out my light
with darkness you do
all you did was moan
finger pointing blame
in your "Woe is Me"
pity party game
that's how you distract
notice from your harm
be attention's center
keep that spotlight warm
same weary tune sung
about and by you
ignore what you did
as you always do
you envy sunshine
but your fake's outshown
seen clearly behind
the red flags you've flown
where does that leave me?
proverbial free bird
no longer encaged
or haven't you heard?
singing she exited
the gilded wire door
four words opened it
"I don't care anymore."
shout all you want
holler, cry or swoon
have fits of vapors
howl at the blue moon
I am gone, said she.
as she flew away
I've found my voice
I shall sing today.
