Lindsay sent me a verse over a week ago out of the blue and this happened.
NOT YOURS by Lindsay and Hastywords
Target Is who I am not
For your torment and abuse
Slander and Lies
Have sucked me dry
Every mirror reflects black
Since I let you into my head
Darkened by your moods
Dictated by all our feuds
I’m not an item to collect
Another heart for your wall
Leaving this empty hole
Where you tried to control
There are no strings attached
No worn buckles or leather straps
I am not just another cheap thrill
Nor a soul you can shred and kill
Not a careless afterthought
always your last resort
Always changing the story
to take all the glory
I am the resurrection in spite
The beauty your eyes can’t see
The purring lion you won’t hear
The beast you will not defeat
Lindsay is a rather artsy, easy going, weird, and eccentric Geek girl who loves animals and is the mommy to 4 of them (2 rabbits, cat, and ferret). She considers herself a connoisseur of whiskey drinking and video game playing. Most days she is bumbling around with software and hardware, whilst at night she is a ninja munching on gummi bears and dancing to music. She enjoys blogging as a way of dealing with the aftermath of rape, ptsd, miscarriage, abuse and depression; as well as sharing successes and failures with others.
OHHHH THIS LINDSAY! *gets irrationally excited*
I really like what you both created here – it feels empowering and beautiful and…right. Bit of a battle-cry maybe.
