I started life with rage and I won’t grow kinder

Fuck you

I don’t think I was ever supposed to be here

Would you be willing to let me disappear?

Grasping at the night

I’m afraid to embrace sight

You have the power but you’re too nice

You continue to hold me close

Please just hold your nose and burn my clothes

What will it take to grow these family trees into one?

Marriage, carriage, luxury?

What pulls us together is not what is mutually loved, but what is hated

Will I be forever shackled to your loving hand?

Will I be dragged beyond my will and planted as an eternal flower to your grave?

Will I produce thorns to guard your mound?

Will I be picked and gifted to resolve a conflict?

You will never fucking reap me

Loyalty until the very end

I am now possessed by your will to live

I am now possessed by your willingness to give

I am now possessed by your grace

I am now possessed by you and everything you do

This is like pulling teeth

And I’m done with it

Try again, wring me dry

I’m burdened by the thought of giving up

Strong enough

I’m so upset

There is no reward without exertion
