Poems For Life

Behind Bars Built By The Guards

Looking at me,

I stare in the mirror,

Look back at the year,

Oh how time has changed me,

The bright and funny little girl I once was,

Now I play pretend half the time,

For the true me is behind bars,

Built by the guards,

Never thought I'd be who I am,

But guess thats what assholes do,

They don't give a fuck about you,

So don't give a fuck about them,

They will break you down,

I learned that the hard way,

You can see it in my eyes,

Just like I can see your little white lies,

Don't tell me a lie,

I can sense your feelings and hear your thoughts,

I am an angel,

My wings are white feathers,

Beautiful mess,

Perfectly shaped,

Perfectly formed,

I don't always lie,

Yes, Angels sin too,

Nobodys perfect,

I am a demon,

Don't ask me to play,

They might wanna mingle,

They'll get me in touble,

They'll get me scars,

I don't wanna play with knives all night,

I'm no princess bitch,

I'm a motherfucken queen,

Don't lock me up,

I'll blow your house to smithereens,

I can break your heart,

With just a rhythm and a beat,

Don't make me a bitch,

This barbie gets crazy,

Send me on a rampage,

Baby you'll be paying,

The real me now locked,

And hidden behind the bars and glass,

Built by the guards,

They try and shape and mold me,

They don't even know me,

Or the beast I've become.
