my name is forgotten

my structure lean

my fingers quiver

and I cant see

people fill the room

like sheep being lead

a herd of ignorance

follow the voices in my head

I feel subdued

my passion undeniable

yet my eyes and smile

come across as desirable

what person is she

to be aching and red

what a person to be

so I'm not me instead

such a nice girl

who's so tired and conflicted

what a pretty girl

who's problems are self inflicted

a jumble of words clear the surface of my head

shush little girl

ill let them see my emotions

as long as they say I'm their world

they kiss me gently and spread my legs

and no matter what I wont say no

because if I let them do as they please

they'll say the love they show

bad boys who lie on my bed

smoking and petting my thighs

bad boys who will always stay a while

to say 'I love you' isn't a lie

pretty boys in shredded clothes

and nothing in their heads

pretty girls with broken hearts

who need three special words to be said

oh what a world to be in

to be broken but living

where the only way to pay the rent

is to sell what you've got and just keep breathing
