i’d like to bear my testimony

because poems are the truth

i used to be a kind of killer

i never knew that about me

to be true

i’m sorry

and sorry is as sorry does

but let me be crystal clear

i’ve never had any blood on my hands

except for the blood of my own

i’ve thrown hands

i’ve thrown eyes

i’ve thrown ass

i’ve swallowed glass

i’ve recycled lots of blame.

i want to be an independent act but i do not pick up guns

i used to pull knives when i was threatened but never stabbed.

i used to be a shit pet owner

but

i think im the rat in the lab.

my mommy Gypsy Rose’d me

and i was a successor

but now im a survivor

who never meant to take your man

i saw a fantasy

in which i chased

first came him, and then came you

i made a grave mistake that i know you’d shoot me for

sorry is as sorry does

i want to be your girl

i love the same things you love

but i don’t like blood like that.

please don’t put a hole in me, or him, or you.

i was manipulative and he was honest.

i feel like shit

we all do, i bet

let’s end this horror story now.

i’d like to bear my testimony

i know this is the truth

i didn’t know the harm id do

to such a true friend in a blue sky like you.

the time has come

my little friends

said the blood soaked oyster king

“of shoes and ships and ceiling wax”

of cabbages, kings and queens.

a medicimento contra odium.

stay, please stay, please stay.

amen.

Tether your soul to me I will never let go completely One day your hands will be Strong enough to hold me

I might not be there for all your battles But you'll win them eventually I'll pray that I'm giving you all that matters So one day you'll say to me

I love my life I am powerful I am beautiful I am free I love my life I am wonderful I am magical I am me I love my life

I am not my mistakes And God knows I've made a few I started to question the angels And the answer they gave was you

I cannot promise there won't be sadness I wish I could take it from you But you'll find the courage to face the madness And sing it because it's true

I love my life I am powerful I am beautiful I am free I love my life I am wonderful I am magical I am me And finally I’m where I want to be.
