It takes courage to change, she
Said
Wreck everything on the way out
Of one's comfort zone.
I don't know who I should
Tell this, but every night before
I surrender to sleep, my shivering bones
Play the bass to the pace of
My muffled breath
"The Egg is the world", he wrought
He who must be born
Must first destroy.
I feel loneliness creep up
My spine as I'm told to conquer
This proverbial Troy
All walls and no Helen.
I wasn't born a winner, perhaps,
Hiding in the shadows of great
Men,
I forget that it was always
A woman that made them so.
I didn't ask for great things,
Mi amor, I'm the queen of
Small feats and whimsical
Endevours, that never see the light
You say that you are proud to
Know me, a line straight out of
A Steinbeck's novel, but I'm sorry
It wasn't my intention to shine
Brighter than my lover's eyes,
I'm just too scared of the dark that
I light the half burnt candles i
Burried
Between the ashes.
I was fine
Being unnoticed, I was fine
Before love, being light
Trapped inside cracked mirrors
And the crevices of a smiling
Figure of validation
Wasn't the egg snug enough
For a featherless bird to prosper ?
Can't I
Still grow in my own skin ?
