self-portrait

A Submission from Alybey

i paint the world in shades of blue
an untouchable world,
houses in purple hues
i feel emotions with my eyes and instead of my tongue telling lies i speak of butterflies
my soul is clear
please see right through me,
the genuine the generosity
perception screams at my eyes
realization that I’m a forsaken memory lost
giving up my mind but what is the cost
a living exhaust;
my name is alyssa.
i fucking hate it
i still remember the taste of the spit
the flowers i was forced to buy for my rapist
the agony i live in
a fucking narcissist
stories that are unaligned
rip my innocence from my hands
ill remain kind
self portrait
i tore the canvas apart
flee to solitude
passionate dreams become destroyed
pray the voices are just a noise,
earth and heaven,
a boy,
eternity and creation,
a girl,
a vessel versus a realm,
a human,
a soul versus a body,
my name is aly, you can call me alybey
broken and shattered with nowhere to stay
i still think of it all
the words said to me,
made home in my memory.
