Inner Piece

“Twinkle-twinkle little star, so clumsy that it fell

wasn't really meant to live to tell

saved by the angels' bells

mama's scarred knees and holy promises

daddy's energy on premises, while

big sister's waiting at home with Snoopy

And so she gathered all her strength

pulling IVs, leaning against plastic walls of white

knowing she had to cry out for dear life

but that's just not like her at all”

But look, she survived somehow in silence

bleeding unrealized inner radiance

shyly scorning the outside world

that's just calculating what she's worth

"Fellas, it's all about the inner piece,

love, inspiration and imaginings".

At school she paid full attention

to blend in was her intention

but kids said she wasn't normal

the house she drew was so informal

sketched in perspective and not 2D

the roof's not red and there's too much purple ink.

Oh, why are you trying so hard to adapt?

You don't even know why the teacher had you slapped.

Why are you trying so hard to bond?

All the best friends were here to go - and isn't it hilarious

that they were all born under the sign of Aquarius?

Must be like the case with men in Sagittarius.

Growing up was hard on her mentality

torn among her bouquet of personalities

seemed so puzzling and missing a piece.

Is it ok to be cotton candy smile and sweet

while also in seclusion and purple deep

scarlet glam gal rolling in dirt for fun

serious and perfect and a control freak

changing hair colors feeling full of white streaks

But look, she survived somehow in silence

bleeding unrealized inner radiance

shyly scorning the outside world

that's just calculating what she's worth

"Fellas, it's all about the inner piece,

love, inspiration and imaginings".

Hush now, it’s ok, miss Sadness is gone,

she couldn’t convince you did everything wrong

Hush, cause you no longer have to dress

the cloak of the fidgeting dame in distress

- unless there’s a fetish you should not repress!

For you can finally grasp that last piece

feel it and fumble it, persuade you it’s real

- it’s always been there, but now it’s been healed
