I Wish I Could Go Through Life Without Needing To Speak

i wish i could go through life without needing to speak

like a model, an enigma, someone who wisped in and out of rooms

i could focus all my energy on cultivating a persona

speaking with my scarves, coats, dresses, and gentle smiles

but it wouldn’t do, i was looked at strangely when words didn’t flow easily through teeth

i was the odd man out by way of silence

i had to have opinions, a certain garishness, to prove my humanity

to prove i’m not one of those girls

who sits still, quietly

and aren’t people enough

I walk around and pretend to be one of the normal, happy ones But I’m nothing like them and I think they can smell it I wish I was Wish I could hop over their white picket fence But I’m stained, tainted, dashed Ruined I used to delight in it Got so used to the blade I turned it on myself Used men to flesh me open Expose me for the nonhuman I was I wasn’t whole, I knew that And they didn’t want a real girl

text id: Poems are not written – they happen,
Like feelings or even the dusk.
The soul is a blind accomplice.
Didn't write it – just happened so.

"Poems are not written...", Andrey Voznesensky (translated by metamorphesque)

i envied those born into families with hands holding lit lighters all around them, constantly nursing and blowing and encouraging their flames. they took over the world with their wildfires. they glowed from within and seemed to have never faced the darkness. i envied them so much.

we can be in our own world escape within each others bodies just innocent, with gentle fear no tainted lust all of my past lovers don’t measure up and when i think of them i cringe but you and i will start something new something pure you will love me as the mess i am and i will find that all that i need is within you and we can float away on our own little island and every person who said it couldn’t be done will preen and pry desperate for a look at what we’d created and will it be healthy? well, it’ll be love
