Ruby - Astari Boedikoentjara
(Dark Thoughts of The Bullied)
It's more than a vacant space
or lack of expression on one's face
It doesn't contain nothing,
Questions with questions
That’s how you answer
Not much you mention,
‘though you’re such talkers
How to expect you to understand,
There’s only one way
to restore your peace of mind completely
Yes, you’ve already let him go
He’s never going to run the same sick show
Start making him
She's been dismissed
belittled
considered a freak and overly sensitive
'though she believes
something's got to give
“I heard rage in your sleep,”
The Mighty Queen said.
“My child, what has gone so deep,
stealing the peacefulness in your dreams?”
“I forgot,”
Hello, stranger
I love your smile
like you do my poetry
but why look so troubled?
I was just expressing my vile
I’ve decided to keep my old vow
that I shall never love
anyone like I’ve loved you.
No, please don’t say ‘wow’.
I don’t mean it as a compliment.
There’s still a lot about me, oblivious to you.
Run, run away
You, with no shame
Never return, not a day
I’ll remember your name
with sickness in me
Are you ready
to be what you’ve always wanted
like dreams inside your head
instead of nightmares causing dread?
Battle of the sexes:
That woman scares you.
She has more opinions than you do.
I read your sweet words on the screen
enough what I’ve seen
I bet you wish you were there
right where she’s always been
She’s had her head in the clouds
Want to know what safety is?
It’s not how I should be
locked indoors like some jewelry piece
I’m not and that’s a boring analogy
I’m human
