Medusa

February 18th, 2020

Last year’s start
Left me puzzled
With a new year
Came a new struggle
A glance from the past
Catching your reflection
Closing my eyes
To forget the recollection
Bury these feelings
That only persist
Cover my eyes
I need to resist
Piling up
These words left unspoken
I’d speak my mind
But I am still frozen

Inception

January 21st, 2020

I’m coming undone
Like the buttons of my blouse
The end of a long day
Victim to dreams of the doll house
Childhood bottled up
Unraveling with time
Innocence unnurtured
Nature of my mind
Love came at a price
That I could not afford
I must have gone bankrupt
When you cut the umbilical cord

Reflecting

January 9th, 2020

I search for a feeling
I’m not sure exists
I try to write it off
But the longing persists
I hold on to people
Who once left me broken
Because these feelings inside
Still want to be spoken
I feel like I’m observing
From inside of a mirror
I can’t save myself
How did I get here
