Medusa<\/p>\n
Woman turned Gorgon<\/p>\n
You didn\u2019t deserve what happened to you<\/p>\n
Fool for a God in a temple for a night<\/p>\n
Snakes upon your hair for the rest of your life<\/p>\n
To bed with a bed blissfully<\/p>\n
Unaware of you fate<\/p>\n
And now angry, and alone, without a mate<\/p>\n
Cursed by a Goddess for all of eternity<\/p>\n
For no man to love<\/p>\n
For no one to see<\/p>\n
Turning people to stone<\/p>\n
Like your heart<\/p>\n
It is dark and bitter<\/p>\n
And like your beauty<\/p>\n
Won\u2019t you wither<\/p>\n
away<\/p>\n
Daddy\u2019s Girl<\/p>\n
If my father were still alive I feel as if i would\u2019ve been a daddy\u2019s girl
\nBut he\u2019s not, so i\u2019m not
\nBecause of childish decisions and careless mistakes
\nI now have no one to make my house stable when it shakes
\nNo one to take my side when my mom tells me no and no one to show me the ropes
\nMy mom became my mom and my dad when he died
\nAnd she had to do it all on her own, keep me alive
\nHis death made us strong, closer
\nAnd i\u2019m glad God chose her
\nOne parent became two and she taught me how to tie my shoes
\nTo ride a bike
\nTo drive
\nAnd daddy didn\u2019t because he couldn\u2019t
\nAnd that doesn\u2019t bother me anymore
\nBut i always wondered
\nWould I really be a daddy\u2019s girl if he were alive<\/p>\n
Searching for yourself in destructive fashions
\nIn the beds of men you won’t remember tomorrow
\nYou don’t know love, not of self or other
\nFighting for control within yourself<\/p>\n
You’re spineless in a backless dress, too weak to be anything but
\nHand out, begging
\nYou need but don’t know what
\nGet a grip on reality instead of getting lost in lines of coke<\/p>\n
You’re a child begging for forgiveness
\nNeeding a hand to hold
\n———————————————————–<\/p>\n
In your skin, you find comfort
\nYou find solace, you find beauty, you find intelligence
\nIn your skin you find…
\nInsanity
\nYou find pity, self -loathing hatred
\nIn your skin you find love, love of living, love of self
\nIn your skin you<\/p>\n
———————————————————–
\nDistressed denim and mind sets make for good back stories
\nRipped knees and jeans
\nAll unholy things
\nI am unstable and distracted
\nMy mind draws blanks
\nI can’t even think straight
\nExhaustion overpowers me and I can barely stay awake
\nI want to overachieve but I can’t believe that I am able to do a lot of things
\nI am useless<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
