I find no release. I die. I die, Yet I’m not free. Not 'til I die.

You don’t ask me to speak. You never expect my opinion. I was your second child In a runaway marriage. I suppose I loved you once,

In the darkest night, A flower will grow.

That’s why she died– Because she never let anyone hold… She didn’t trust herself. She didn’t let anyone love her Or touch her

In seventh grade, I made you a po… But I tore it up into pieces Because it wasn’t good enough. In eighth grade, I made you a poe… But I left it under my bed

Last night, all I saw was Nancy. The way she cried when I held her… Like a fleshy cradle Around her broken heart. I saw her loving me

I came back from a mortal hell, But on my way home, I saw no white god, And I saw no golden spirit, And I saw no true son.

I ran from you all my life. I’ve had problems, But that doesn’t make it right.

You met me in the winter When I was a petal, Something you desperately wanted t… You loved me in the summer, Underneath the palm oil trees

Don’t cry Don’t cry Don’t cry Because it’s your birthday.

You ruined me. How could you? You’re my mother. You were supposed to be strong. Not me.

I lost my innocence On a king-sized sheet With four posters And the two of us. Just the two of us

I feel so lonely. I want to die. Feeling like the only one on earth… My laughter is a lie. Laugh on, laugh on.

Winter is getting worse. Is there no justice In my punishment Brought about by my peers? I yearn to burrow in warm dirt

Why do I still feel guilty About things That are out of my favor?
