The panic attack subsides Just from the soft and kind Ring of your voice That finds Me in the darkest hides My time did just bide For the moment You come And got me to climb Out of a shell That was hell But easier than my true flesh Well, you know me best I’ll [...]

You were the only one Who never said I was a nightmare Only one who never got pissed off At peeling me from the pavement Only one who left my bedsheets Permanently fragrant Only one I never felt like I was boring When I was drawing My imagination with words Only one who got me [...]

I like that shimmering look of light on the lake I like spitting in puddles to watch them shimmy and shake I like cutting through the marsh as my boots meet mud and cake I like watching the cygnets blossom white as they shed the grey I like the flowers blooming, pretty and great I [...]

Often this insecurity gets mistaken for vanity I got all this clobber to preserve a sliver of sanity But I try on every top, every sock and every bottom I still stare at that reflection and feel rotten Okay, maybe I just need my barnet did and makeup painted Maybe it was just the pairing [...]
