Did you notice I wasn't there
Will it affect your day
To know my voice won't ring
In the ears my fingers
Once caressed while pushing
Your hair from eyes
That made me fall
From the sky
Now crashing down
Past the dirt
Bruised, battered, torn
My body isn't like it use to be
Did you notice what you did
To my heart and how my soul
Kept fighting while your hateful
Words continued to eat away
Is it so much to ask to be
Noticed.

Grab the apple from the tree
Keep it close but don't let it spoil
The sweetness only exists for so long.
My heart plucked from the air
Held on to by love so sincere
What battles we endeared
Yet the only thing that could break us
Lies, disloyalty, and fears
Hate devoured my soul
Leaving just the core
Hoping to give birth to life
Instead thrown into the trash
Where people machines push
Pull, drag, squish
Compacting as small as possible
In order to make room
For one more
Leaving the natural substances
Fighting for a door
To the ground they once adored.
Why throw away the core?
It made the apple you enjoyed so.

I stand here naked
Clothing is just another material
To be worn by society,
I stand before you all
Heart in my hands
Bleeding for what I once fell for,
I stand with my knees buckled tight
Praying to the gods and goddess'
To keep mine and me safe at night,
I stand with my head held high
As tears stream down
Knowing once again I've been defeated,
I stand here in a town
That I'm beginning to learn
Hoping to find my place,
I stand tall
As my arms fall to my sides
Wondering why you did this to me,
I stand here naked
With nothing else to say
Except I did what I felt I could
Using only my mind, heart, body and soul.
