Unravel

Unravel me pull me apart take away these walls I have built to the sky with sarcasm and pain, unravel me and see me for who I am and can be, forget my past forget the future for now you can finally see me and my history gathering around my feet and I pluck a memory sticking it behind my ear thrashing and pulsing you can see me for what  I was and what I am I am a girl discarded and forgotten and tend to be filler for a typical boring Friday night and my voice becomes laced into a soundtrack and my fingers create their own fanfare and you miss what I am telling you, you need to unravel me pulling way the threads of my pain my anger my sadness pluck the raven feathers from  my hair and set them free for these ghost birds are still crying out and I really can’t stop screaming late at night with the tears welling up and threatening to flood my sanity so unravel me and see me for who I am and can be a woman with a smile dancing into the night with stars and the moon perfect dance partners serving up the right ballad lacing my tongue and clouding my eyes and you need to unravel me and see what I was and what I am I am a woman lost in this world of many complications and distractions are an art form with every path leading to a dead end and shadows have teeth and fingers and mouths and they all are hungry things  and you miss what I am telling you, you need to unravel me pull away this wall I built with sarcasm and pain, chase away my ravens and see me for who I am.. a girl bruised by her past, but persevering for her future and will be… so much more than you can every dream
