Take Them

Take these lies off my chest

Let me bleed from the gaping holes

No need to stitch me back up

These fallacy filled temptations

My main attraction

Hiding my true neuroticism

Telling the world stories

Of oh how amazing I am

How gorgeous

Such a demanding presence

Such an alluring sham

How dare I not live up to the expectations

Of a gorgeous woman 

Life together, calm, caring, and logical

I am all those things

Seemingly and singularly represented

By these deceitful icons

Look beyond that and there is nothing good

 

So take this facade off my chest

Tie me to a chair

Display me where the world can see my truth

 

For I’d rather be seen and loved for who I am

Not my breasts.
