Song# 6 I just don't like that Anymore

-

Out of the thousand words I misspoke,
And a couple hearts it broke,
I could fill up the pages of a novel
Where does it end and who picks up the shovel?

My hands and eyes are growing sore.
I just don't like that anymore.
There's no going back to before.
Why should it matter anymore?

From the ten and twenty conflicts,
I learned so many new tricks,
To weave some better words.
But they'll never be heard.

For there are so many waves on the shore
I just don't like that anymore.
This emptiness makes it more
Hard to be okay anymore.

With every empty silence
And little thoughts of violence
I draw an unfair portrait
The lines are never drawn straight.

There's a lock now on every door
I just don't like that anymore.
And the misery in my core,
It won't go away anymore.

Now here's a song that I wrote
But I don't like it anymore
And there are words I can't control
But I don't fight them anymore.

Life for young Addie, if she obeyed the existing norms would end with her getting married, having a kid and “being settled.” But such a life, she feels would dim the spark in her, and would such a life really be worth living? A life that she didn’t chose for herself? She makes a deal with the devil, trading her soul for immortality – a healthy, long life for as long as she wants it. Unfortunate for her, the

World Poetry Day: Well-behaved women never made history

I can imagine Virgina, With her pocket full of stones, Still trying to convince Sylvia The oven was meant for baking scones And Amy Winehouse sitting back With a glass filled with cognac Taking fashion advice from Marilyn While the wallpaper stares at Perkins And Parker tries again to slit her wrist And yet amidst these literary heroines And giants of the past There’s this terrible agony I wonder where it comes from? Was it passed down from the first taunt ‘This ain’t how girls behave?’ Control and endure and don’t try To make a name. Akhmatova begging for her son’s life I can picture it so clear. Rowling accused of being a witch Arundhati surrounded by sneers. What is it that makes people so contemptuous Of their life? That made Miao-Chin leave the pen And pick up a knife? On the occasion of World Poetry Day, my tribute to history's most impactful females and how they suffered.
