A Poem by Anonymous 79
half-moons in my palm turn to
scissors in my hand
too many tears to see straight
and too many tears to fix with tape
i'll never learn to ignore the burns you
say are love; i don't understand
how your spilled drinks turn into my danger
and my trapped thoughts turn to blinding anger
my hair is snipped short, you say that's wrong
you hate it, but i hated suffocating more
this way i felt like i had a choice
it was the only way i could think to amplify my voice
you call me "boy" now because my hair isn't long
now i have a voice, but i'm out of words
what's a voice without anything to say?
i regret cutting my hair today

Line 4: "tears" rhymes with "deer"
Line 5: "tears" rhymes with "air"
Just some clarification there.
