Cease And DesistA Poem by LanaIt is otherwordly The way I am not allowed to exist I have to cover up my cease and desist -letter I wrote last week I told the world I do not want to meet their demands That my heart is made of marshmallows but sometimes A scarecrow comes out of it and it terrifies the whole village And i'm responsible for this offence I cannot exist as a black death I have to cover up my hands Because sometimes I happen to hold a knife And it's not a butter knife to smear it all on a f*****g toast In the morning I ghost I do not make breakfast I do not milk the cow for the butter I let the children suffer And the scarecrow comes out of the woodwork and it terrifies villagers I had to hide my cease and desist letter I wrote it last week during supper I've had enough of the bullshit demands That this world thinks I have to follow Because I am what I am And what I am will never be enough I have to be the angel of the Earth I have to be the mother The milk t***y cow The Emperess The loud but quiet mouth that I will never ever feed But the other lips that speak of what I can and cannot do I feed them with all my juice I've had it I've had enough I am no longer yours World.
