let me read to you - hear my voice quake
my whisper, my worry, my anger, my shake
let me read to you - watch me perform
my sayings displaying my heart worn and torn
let me read to you - lay myself bare
peel off my skin, display to your stare
let me read to you - feel the edges of my soul
fraying, betraying, broken yet whole
let me read to you - let me honestly lie
show my dishonest truths, the mirage of my eye
let me read to you - see me as I see myself
distortions, contortions, unhealthy health
let me read, let me sing, let me cry
let me bring tears to your eyes
let me peel myself open for you to dissect
let me die and leave disillusions to resurrect
Please! let me Read!
Please! let me Bleed!
are you listening?
