Gave me the medal Crowned me With all the fake jewels Say that’s motivation? It’s bad education Feeding lies, taking credit For the success, what about All the times when I couldn’t put my head up? To that, you spit up Look down on me Say you’re disappointed, with what? How I chose my life to be? Or how you couldn’t control me? It’s like your hand Holding a thread onto my life Strangling my windpipe Making me a puppet To you, to all of them There’s no me, but everyone else Like looking in a mirror “I can’t see myself” But fuck you And fuck them I took your stand On every stance But with mine You turned around, left me Crawling on the ground “Help me up, ease my…” All in thin air Those the wrong words I gasp for breath, pull myself “DON’T TOUCH ME, I’M FINE” Knives and edges Threads and me All on the same line.
I really felt this poem, and how hard it is when a family member or friend you thought was on your side turns out not to be. Especially when they feel like they can start making decisions that affect your whole life. That happened to me last year, and it was awful! If this poem is about something specific, I pray that you’ll find healing soon
Maybe or maybe not! Haha, thanks for the concern though, really appreciate it! I’m glad you could connect to it and I hope you’re doing really really well. More power to you ❤️
Amazing piece, AB! So powerful and passionate . Loved each and every line. Brilliant.💕
““Help me up, ease my…”
All in thin air
Those the wrong words
I gasp for breath, pull myself
“DON’T TOUCH ME, I’M FINE”
