Like Father-Like Son by ~verbalize:iconverbalize:





I am Melancholy Madness, bruised upon the shadows of your fist.
Hold me down and punish me for all these made up trespasses I've committed.
Tell me not to be so weak as I cry myself to sleep.

I am Shattered double paned glass pulled one by one out of my back.
Shove me through closed doors, windows.
Tell me I deserve each minute of each impact.

I am Demolished Self Esteem, you taught me well.
Crush me under your tongue, with each syllable of your breath.
Tell me I'm ugly, who could love me, not you.

I am Your Daughter, Your Sister, discarded to the floor by your arms.
Break me beyond repair, use me as your catharsis while I bleed.
Tell me I'm done, I can close my eyes now, tell me I'm done.

"I am Demolished Self Esteem, you taught me well." Yes. I know how you feel.

I hate them for my own selfish reasons. I think you know what I mean by that.
But Brandy this is beautiful in it's style and emotion. This is the best I've seen from you, and I fell in love with your work first. No matter the circumstances that made me go crazy over you.

You are loveable.
You are adorable.

You are not ugly.

I wish I could have been the one to make you see that.

Wow. This is unbelievably emotional.

I felt myself get silent.
Then growing angry reading it,
and then growing sad, and silent again.

Thanks for sharing, this is just wonderful hon..
