shot glass, knocked back,
warm chest, calm mind,
aching to find the best in humankind,
drowned before I was saved,
unable to behave,
in my heart, I can’t be tamed,
wildly craving to remain unexplained,
stop guessing, stop searching,
I am no one’s blessing,
just a girl in a dress, suppressing pain,
forever incapable of change.
