So now,
I'm that person you can talk about
Behind these walls
Like I don't have ears to hear,
Or a mouth to speak my mind,
Like, wait
I'm that idiot
Remember?
I'm the moron who goes to the nerd school
That makes the b's and a's
That's the best teen runner you'll ever know
Because, no,
I'm not a part of you
I'm that distant person,
The adopted one,
The, "This is mi Vida (my life)."
But, no,
This is the idiot,
The one who refuses to behave,
The hated,
The burned,
The beaten,
The slaved,
The worked,
The overheated,
The whore,
The bitch
The one you never looked in the eye
Because you knew you would see the fire,
The flame that burns in me
Because of you, because of the world
I am the way I am, because of everything around me
You can't stop it, you can't reverse it
Leave me alone
Don't come back,
Asking for a plea of grace
No,
Because I won't give it to you
The Lord says, "Do this out of the greatness of your heart."
But I have the hardest time accepting,
"I..."
"Me..."
"You want me..."
"...To be nice... to this person?..."
"Ha... try no! You see what he's done to me, what they've all done."
"Learn forgiveness."
(To be continued later.....)
