Are you saying you don't believe me?
Because I think you said you didn't believe in me---
That's the way I heard it---
yes, I'm certain that's what you said,
when you said it---
and you can't take it back
I didn't want you to---
I liked my scab the way it was
That's what you were
---my name is my name and I knew from nothing else
because that's the way I wanted it
and I didn't need your applause
or ovations
I only needed to look out there---
in the swarm
at their faces
that belonged to me and not you
that simmered in my chest
to know that I moved it all back
and back and back---
Sometimes you can move back to far!!!!
ReplyDeletesounds like it could've been Natalie Portman's thoughts at the end of Black Swan! Not sure if that's what you intended, in fact, I doubt it was what you intended. I like the idea of keeping the scab. That line caught my eye.
