Quotes by southpaw

UNTITLED

i want to be smothered in flowers
and sleep at the foot of mother nature
only to wake up to the illuminating face
that stares down at the disapating race
with a wide smile and an awful grin
 
ONWARD FEMALE

I don't need to prove to you how strong I am by brute strength
I don't need to smile for you
I don't need your help either
Just because I'm female and relatively small doesn't mean I can't do things on my own
I need only your assistance when you are called upon
Not when you see me struggling.

PACKET

because i'm sitting here with a packet in front of me
due a week and a half from now and it's staring me in
the face with its angry numbers and letters
and i just stare back, playing with my pencil, my eyes
just as angry
and i stare at it a little longer than i should, staring
at it longer than i decide to do it
because fck this packet
fck its problems
fck its work
i don't have to do you and i don't want to do you
you're supposed to benefit me but how are you benefiting me
when you only make me want to puke?

MALLEABLE

Sometimes you make me fold like paper
And bend like a flower
While other times I am defiant against you
Strong like a tower

I am perplexed by your ruling though
How can someone make me feel so on fire
When they’re acting so coolly
Like they’re superior and they’re higher?

Perhaps it’s your arrogance
That gets to me
It gets under my skin
Binding and unfree

And while I avoid you at all costs
Never daring to look your way
I find myself wandering
Off-put and astray

THE WAR INSIDE

And so he cries all night wishing he’d only reply
To the calls that she left him
Telling him she’s couldn’t fight
That she was losing the battle and that it was already won
Her: 0
Depression: 1

 
OFF FOR A RUN

When I was a kid
I used to run so much
I don’t know why
I guess I liked the feeling
Of burning lungs
And pounding feet

When I had to climb a ladder
To get to school
I quit running
And started falling
In the grade book
And for someone too

When I walked off that stage
Pass the podium and what not
I started sitting
And forgot about running and falling
Yes, I started sitting
In front of a desk
And stayed sitting for eight hours a day, for 60 years

When I no longer sat in front of a desk
I rolled
Rolled in a chair
Running and falling and even sitting stable
Didn’t seem to exist for me anymore
Soon enough I was lying
And that was that.
