BAGGAGE

There's been a lot of unspoken words

Some from you, others were mine.

I kept a lot of scars beneath that silence

you always knew how to criticize.

A lot of people take my silence for stupidity or weakness

but it's my biggest strength.

because my silence never lets you know...

the amount of baggage I keep inside.

Everyone seems to crave for a share 

of the burdens I carry

the rose is always pretty

till you see the amount of thorns

It grows beside.

So no, not anymore.

I will no longer listen to 

Your hypocrisy and lies.

I will no longer feed 

Your fantasies or Disgusting dreams.

I am not perfect so let me be.

I am not meant for everyone.

Not everyone has good taste.

I have so many flaws

Underneath the sleeve 

where I keep my heart

and every vessel in my veins 

scream that I am more than you think I am.

Now, I have decided that.

I am tired of standing in the witness box

because you feel like I need to be judged.

feel free to take the keys 

To my heart or barge in

You won't find me where I used to be.
