voice

A Poem by Candace

my voice will always strain
when i try to hit the high notes
my arms won't want to let him go
as he waits to push me away
this song has been on repeat
on and off for months now
i don't really like the taste
but i love the relief it gives
i spend money to feel important
hardly ever throw myself towards the light
wrap his long hair in my palm
as it falls onto my face
awkward promises came up
i don't like to disappoint
asking me questions i don't want to answer
so i lie and hope he's satisfied
my voice will always strain

An excellent piece of work...

"this song has been on repeat
on and off for months now"

I feel like this line really rang with some truth. Life just loops into this cycle that we cant escape until our very end. keep up the good work!
