Does Anyone Even Hear Me?

Laid in the middle of a field After a terrible wreck Flipped an ATV over the top of me Hurt everything but my neck. Laid on the side of the road one night So drunk I didn't know my own name After the glitter of the lights weren't on me No longer wanted to play...

I Want, But I Don’t

I want you touch me Gently and warmly But I just really don't Want to feel anything. I want you to feel me Look deeply into my eyes But I don't want you To say anything about it. I want you to hold me As close as I can get But I don't want you...

But Just Let Me Jump In This Lake

I've never swam with the piranhas that you have Or watched life end in the blink of an eye. Not told my husband is leaving after a 22 year marriage With no explanation or "why?" I've never went a night without eating Or had the misfortune of someone taking my things. Never lost a hand...
