It's Been A Long Day

ots

Tapestries along a makeshift cathedral,

We couldn’t afford to go to a real one anyways,

Our story chiseled in on the walls,

Your hand in mine, it was a dream, but that dream came to a sudden halt when I woke up and I realized I was still in the past,

I was anxious for things to start rolling,

A hill I put myself on top of,

What was the big idea?

Was it that hard to comprehend?

Come on, you don’t really want me to be just like them,

Another hard copy for someone to make fun of,

I just want to be different and make up my own colors,

I don’t want to keep on using the same ones you used when you were a child,

Every time, you do this to me every single time I try to smile,

My muscles on my face increase in depth and volume and your rules just keep getting louder and louder in my head,

I try to resist,

But you know I’m not good at resisting and just now, my words are breaking free from their cage,

I’m just now learning how to speak up for myself,

The way you never taught me how too,

I kept on being silent and keeping my comments to myself in my head, feeling sorry for myself,

I never knew how to be real for myself,

To at least do the one thing my body did for me,

I wanted to speak out, and I wanted, not just to whisper, but to whisper and have all my feeling heard,

I missed the beast,

And the beast missed me,

And I missed everything that ever meant anything to me,

And I feel the need to stand up for that,

Like I never knew how to do.
