Scribbles
by Polaroid
one day you wake up and notice
you are
a wander in a crowded street
A half dead half alive freak
The spark has been long gone
As if it never existed
You avoid the mirror at all costs
Cause all you see is swollen body
Stains of hair escapes through
The arches of your fingers
And your tissue is stained in blood
You don’t look anything like you used to be
Not even close to the kid in school
Hunger strikes all of a sudden
But you just had food ?
Maybe you are cold or maybe
You are running from the parts of yourself
You pass by the window
Swollen beaten up inside
Lunar eclipse around the
curved edges of your eyes
For once in life you felt seen
When a kind lady said
“ Are you stressed ? “
You wish you could tell her
But you smile in awe and say
I’m ok ma’am thank you
~ you wish you had someone like that
In the back of your head you grieve
Nothing was ever enough
You have up on taking care of you
You gave up on the child
that dreamed of being free
A beautiful little angel
Who spoke to trees
A little magician who whispered stories
From every painting she saw
You gave up on her
at the strike of midnight
You reach for your phone
But “ you’re so needy “
it’s always in the jokes
Maybe you are what they say
Because you were seen not heard
Clothed not sheltered
You say you’re in love
You are happy with yours
But sometimes just sometimes
You ask yourself
Is it all a show ? Was any of it real ?
Cause oneday I was a lovebird
And another day a lonely bastard
Twenty three years later
It all makes sense
You’re not hormonal
You were a child
You still are
Maybe someday when you are gone
The fabrics in your casket may glitter
As the roses flushes in purple hues
Just like the good old days
You day dreamed of being a little princess
In a ball gown
You’ll have your gown your little crown
Your precious little scribes
and everything you loved
