Poems from Janet Grey- 6
Broken Bird
She wears a long, frilly dress
With fingerless gloves to adorn her caress
She wears heels covered in spikes that come to her knees
With chokers and ribbons for accessories
Her skin pale as snow, her clothes as black as coal
People like to stare whenever she goes for a stroll
Yes, the bird is beautiful, but she is also broken
Hiding beneath trauma left unsung and unspoken
She lives in a cage covered in many a sharp spike
To hide from people that may want to strike
Not only with flying fist where the lightest concern is getting hurt
But also words that diminish, exclude, and are curt
Yes, the bird is beautiful, but she is also broken
Hiding beneath trauma left unsung and unspoken
People only see the pretty exterior
They tell the bird that she should be cheerier
And she knows that her answer must be silence
But she won't act different for another's convenience
If they only knew how she thought
They wouldn't do the same for her, they'd let her rot
Yes, the bird is beautiful, but she is also broken
Hiding beneath trauma left unsung and unspoken
Don't say that you know the bird if you haven't heard her sing
The things that she's been through might make your head ring
Bashing her head against the bars of her cage
Hiding the scars as a result of her rage
Thoughts
I don't really mind random compliments when I go out, I've been told I look like something from the Corpse's Bride. Which is ironic, since Tim Burten films is the one mainstream goth thing. So people who don't know anything about goths know about it. And my outfits don't really look much like anything from Corpse's Bride, except they are black and frilly, so... they don't know what they're talking about. Worse is when I get the same comparison when I'm wearing my more deathrocker outfits...
But the real issue is people really only look at the surface level of other people. Yeah, I'm pretty, and I like being told that sometimes, but it doesn't help with how much I'm hurting constantly. I would need someone willing to have a deeper relationship with me. You see the problem.
