I...

I bleed when you throw those sharp words

I cry when you leave a stinging about me in my eyes

I fight when you shove me around

I scream when I’m not being loud enough to be heard

I laugh when I hear you say you hold my power

I walk with pride when you try to squash me under your foot

I say I don't care when really I want approval

I yawn when you keep saying garbage I get tired of you repeating

I cough when what I really think gets caught coming out

I can’t hear when my ears are full of your lies

I burp when I’m full of all this frustration

I sleep when I’m exhausted of you running me in circles

I stretch when your hands have squeezed me into nothing

I sore after you have kept dragging me down with all your failure

I float after I’ve been drowning in my sorrows

I remember when you brought me joy until I realized it was all an act

I flip my lid when I’m steaming with anger

I get hope after one second of joy until it disappears

I leap with my heart instead of my head

I shut off after you try to destroy me

I lower my head not to suddenly provoke an act of rage

I let you think what you want and I never say a word

I will leave you with this

I am not what you say unless you turn me into that

I am not dangerous unless I need to protect

I am not worryful unless I care

I don’t pay attention unless what you are saying is important

I love my hardest just to be dissapointed

I trust just to be turned on

I hug to feel close

I cry to show you that you mean something

I smile to let you know you bring my life joy

I say thank you to let you know you bring my life purpose
