The Weird and The Wacky Meet

Where YouBetIAm comes to write….

The Cut

I am glass

strong and fragile

outspoken and shy

A contradiction in syllables uncounted

 

I’ve seen my worth laid out

Like a slave on the auction block

I’ve tried to reclaim myself

Buy myself back from males and institutions

 

Yet I remain their glass

breakable and strong

attached to their hand

Merely a vessel for my thoughts

 

And possibly my insecurities

When I shatter what will my worth be?

Syllables and pieces

Sharp and dull

 

I am denial of reason

It’s a cut to be like me

Lost in trying to understand

No image describes me

 

I am a sophomoric attempt at best
