Ruby - Astari Boedikoentjara
No more sweet smiles
full of toxic and vile
the beauty of your face
a sense of my disgrace
Your once soft, soothing voice
The word is out
Now they know what you’re all about
No more doubts
It’s just you and your big mouth
You’re freaking out
You complain about my hair
You make me want to swear
or the chubbiness in my cheeks
which somehow gives you the creeps
Then you go on with my nose
brick by brick
layers of cement so thick
a real concrete
typically grey, so bland
to ward off the creeps
If time were relative,
then I’d like a pause
for a sense of relief
without any cause.
Let me roam around,
A familiar sign
You thought you’d seen the sun
under the gloomy night sky
that you’d break a smile
Yes, he was beautiful,
I've been transported back in time
something familiar
yet also bizarre
the same old Twilight Zone
with the same old Culture of Silence
Take a step back and analyse.
Listen to some sounding advice.
Do you like what you see?
Are you longing to be free?
Think three steps ahead.
Those sweet words
are sacred
easier said
than done
even when you’ve promised
that you’ll always be around
No more magic?
Why vacant as it is?
Who took all of it?
Nothing to pick.
Dementors have resided,
Let's be honest
You're aching for a paradise
not this wretched world
where we all stand on this dying earth
I need to be brave
to show you these feelings I have
For too long I’ve been imprisoned
by my own creation of silence
I’ve been too scared
