AppleHead


Tell me now,
Can you not hear me my voice?
Have you retreated too far beyond that what I now scream falls upon the dead ears of who doesn’t want to hear?
My please and screams don’t matter anymore.
Never truly mattered.
Because she still doesn’t understand what I’m screaming for.
Once it was that door that she always kept closed upon herself,
Keeping away how she felt and things that made her a better known human since her entire life had been so damaged.
Now all I seem to get is how fucked up I am to her,
Making her hate her life and choices,
Things she could change if she cared enough to admit,
“I was wrong”.
So much energy through my screams,
Constantly trying to see what she sees
and accept the fault of my own device
but every way I turn,
I just see that ever-growing hole that she’s made a permanent home,
Putting in light fixture and new tile,
Preparing for the ling haul away from my pleas of getting into her head.
Of all the things she’s said,
Nothing hurt more then,
“you could have been dead”.
But man she showed me that I always exert this energy,
Even from the womb,
Forcing her to lay down and continue my creation,
Carry for 9 months and even keep me with the inclination that I’ll be amazing someday.
She swears this large baby,
Called APPLEHEAD,
Would do some serious things in the world when the time was right.
But only because me,
The baby,
Asked to be here and forced the hand that made that womens choice to let live or die,
That little peanut she held inside.
But 18 years and sad story goes on to say that nothing earth shattering has came to this day to make that silly little lady want to continue the roulette game of her APPLEHEAD.
Just tit for tat,
Looked down at,
And walked over.
No help and no hinder.
That child of hers does her no good but then she remembers she raised her.
And that leads to another mistake,
Hurtful forget me not phrase.
“I could have abandoned you”.
But to her,
Sisters house, money, and logic means that lady raised all without help of hand.
But another silly goose she is proven to be,
Lady began to slip and slide and let things get in the way of what she acted like she wanted to say.
And when time was right,
Things fucked up and ruined,
She slipped away and decided to live again.
And she “could” have abandoned?
That she truly did. But truth be told,
It might have been the bet move she ever did.
For APPLEHEAD wanted big things and she did nothing to help,
Just kept her in.
So 18 years pass and my voice turns hoarse,
Cant keep screaming for her to hear me.
Cant always cry when she doesn’t see me.
And begging and pleading makes me unhappy.
So screams turn to my silence,Knowing she’s retreated too far to remember me as more than the old school things that once made her my mommie.

Not My Battle

Battle of words with no voice,
I just sit and listen because i have no choice.
No matter how hard i try 2 plead,
2 cry,
ur words jus rain down around me bu still leaves me dry.
I cant strike back or hold on 2 tight,
This battle isnt about me,
This aint my fight.
But somehow I see my name written all ova it.
But I'm certainly not the one that pushed you into it.
I just left myself free 2 fall into your arms
To look into your eyes,
To feel the love from you that you said would never die,
But our picture perfect world wasnt so great after all
Because of all the lies they told is how you let me fall.
To let me fall wasnt enough,
You added insult to injury on top of all THEIR stuff.
But pain is just a way to grow,
Another sign to let me know that no matter how you see your life,
life doesnt give a FUCK.
And just like life,
You've hurt me enough to show i need to fight,
that i do have a right to determine my life.
If by flaw or by fate,
Your face has now become another picture across my wall of those boys that did fail
And left me to recover after it all.
And that means your worth is nothing more than a 4-letter word,
like FUCK,
SHIT,
DAMN,
and the most famous,
LOVE.
