My attempt at sappy poetry

I figured, if you can't lick'm join'm!

do you see my pain?
I feel, I fell, I fight
Don't make me scream and
Tell the world what I want

I know my heart
can speak volumes full
of lust, love, lame poetry
You just don't want me to express myself
Cause I'm so appropriately complex
Or did you think I was too blonde to know
what appropriate meant?

And if I hammer at my keyboard
Break pencils and the pen's ink covers my fingers
know that I don't do this for you
This is my own personal pain

Cause I'm a human goddammit!
don't tell me not to feel
Don't tell me not to eat
Don't tell me I have to be a size 5
don't tell me I have big feet
or I'll punish you with rhymes that nonsensically repeat

this is by me, for me, of me
and maybe, just barely,
to you
