Human
I am human
I am an artist, a friend, a lover, a woman
I am everything and I am nothing
I cannot be content
no matter the effort
I wallow in darkness
and drown in my tears
My pen is my only escape
blue or black, bold or italic
metaphors and similies, rhymes and cliches
it does not matter
they bleed all the same
Judge me too quick
give me your back
Hate me in silence
Fear me in appearance
Make a mockery of my poems
criticize my lines
Label me a freak
maybe call me sadistic
Find fault in my words
condemn my potential
Shower me with insolence
and offend my intellect
But as you read my lexis
Remember,
You cannot take my freedom of speech
you cannot erase all of my pain
and you cannot change who I am
I am human
an artist, a friend, a lover, a woman
and we bleed all the same
I am an artist, a friend, a lover, a woman
I am everything and I am nothing
I cannot be content
no matter the effort
I wallow in darkness
and drown in my tears
My pen is my only escape
blue or black, bold or italic
metaphors and similies, rhymes and cliches
it does not matter
they bleed all the same
Judge me too quick
give me your back
Hate me in silence
Fear me in appearance
Make a mockery of my poems
criticize my lines
Label me a freak
maybe call me sadistic
Find fault in my words
condemn my potential
Shower me with insolence
and offend my intellect
But as you read my lexis
Remember,
You cannot take my freedom of speech
you cannot erase all of my pain
and you cannot change who I am
I am human
an artist, a friend, a lover, a woman
and we bleed all the same
