THE "W" WORD
It all starts with ugly
It all start with worthless
A pity kiss
you are all that is worth this.
Do you comb that nappy hair
those words I hear are hard to bare
Do you brush your teeth
each venomous word makes it easier to weep
worthless
Love is what the body craves
Love is what the mine cherishes
Love is what makes us human
Love is what makes us apparent
toxics love makes us blind
reminding the soul that it will die
withering from the endless lies
killing it softly... gental... until it dies
worthless
A simple word that knocks giants on their knees
destroying light that glimmers with glee.
Setting a fire to all that bleeds
ending the joy that wandered free
but the "w" word will never be the end of me
worthless
