Displaced 2K23 {First Draft}

New Works 2k23

What I love most is the lies

The convolution of words off my tongue

The way my statements take flight

Yeah they run

The way the viewers anger

Always twisted my truth

A fucked up girl

With a stolen youth

 

I miss the contentment of knowing

No matter why the mess was made

I would take the fault of it all

Take all that damned blame

And oh how they spin it

Their rights and the wrongs

Sing ballads most epic

Get lost in the song

 

It is so easy to blame me

Or so it once was

A manic pixie nightmare

A girl once loved

I gave up long ago

The task of figuring it out

Because I found threading truths

In the lies slung about

 

And lies of omission

God, Christ, my favorite ones

The things so hidden

Swept under the rug

You knew you still hurt me

Every fucking one

But I'm easy to blame dear

And I know when to run

 

They sit tight in their anger

Justify their own wrongs

I cried out my sorrows

Year after year

I apologized for it all

I'm just a girl you see

I take on their bullshit

Displace it on me

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I come from a long line a blamers, of martyrs, and when you break the chain the people who once flocked to you will find any reason to hold that against you. Doesn't matter if it is family, friends, lovers, it's all displaced anger on a person who had to figure out how to "do better" on their own. Even when the slights against you were forgiven, the others don't forgive.. Or forget
