Piss Flowers by Miss Black America
My insides and me
We do not agree
My flesh stretched taut against my bones
It's alright to cry
It's alright to cry
It's alright, but only alone
And you can belittle your thoughts and your feelings
Your smile is a perfect disguise
And you can make people fall laughing and screaming
Hold tight, hold tight
And you can make friends
And you will never be lonely again
You could be A SOMEBODY!
Hold tight, hold tight
The sweet science of bruising
Don't spend your life waiting for something more
These feelings will blossom and grow
'Til bittersweet memories are all that remain
Like piss flowers in the snow
My insides and I
Will not compromise
My fist bashes into my bones
It's alright to cry
It's alright to cry
It's alright, but not a comfort
And you can belittle the thought, "you were winning",
