to be a girl.

[1st_star_i_see]

what is it about a man
that can twist and rile this soul
evelop me in a scent so foreign to my own
the guilt has risen as life's colors have shown
what is there to give but myself
so i lay me in countless hands
determined to earn my keep
often turned away in the end
under the shelter of a limitless sky
i surrender to my wingless back
i turn a blind eye
to your truth and consequence

is it you who will cease to disappoint
or i, who will learn not to dream
can i help the hope that haunts me in my sleep
you take such liberties with righteousness
only speculations decipher true lies from myths
this bleak bitter state gives way to fortitude
i will crawl out of this cave
i once followed you into
