I WAS READING
SLIM AARONS
AND I GOT TO THINKING
THAT I THOUGHT
MAYBE I'D GET
LESS STRESSED
IF I WAS TESTED
LESS LIKE
ALL OF THESE
DEBUTANTES
SMILING FOR MILES
IN PINK DRESSES
AND HIGH HEELS
ON WHITE YACHTS
BUT I'M NOT
BABY I'M NOT
NO I'M NOT
THAT I'M NOT
I'VE BEEN
TEARING AROUND
IN MY F**KING
NIGHTGOWN
TWENTY FOUR SEVEN
SYLVIA PLATH
WRITING IN BLOOD
ON THE WALLS
'CAUSE THE INK
IN MY PEN
DON'T WORK
IN MY NOTEPAD
DON'T ASK
IF I'M HAPPY
YOU KNOW
THAT I'M NOT
BUT AT BEST
I CAN SAY I'M NOT SAD
'CAUSE HOPE IS
A DANGEROUS THING
FOR A WOMAN
LIKE ME TO HAVE
HOPE IS
A DANGEROUS THING
FOR A WOMAN
LIKE ME TO HAVE
I HAD FIFTEEN YEAR
DANCES
CHURCH BASEMENT
ROMANCES
YEAH I'VE CRIED
SPILLING MY GUTS
WITH THE BOWERY BUMS
IS THE ONLY LOVE
I'VE EVER KNOWN
EXCEPT FOR THE STAGE
WHICH I ALSO CALL HOME
WHEN I'M NOT
SERVIN' UP GOD
IN A BURNT COFFEE POT
FOR THE TRIAD
HELLO
IT'S THE MOST
FAMOUS WOMAN
YOU KNOW ON
THE IPAD
CALLING FROM
BEYOND THE GRAVE
I JUST WANNA SAY
HI DAD
I'VE BEEN
TEARING UP TOWN
IN MY F**KING
WHITE GOWN
LIKE A GODDAMN
NEAR SOCIOPATH
SHAKING MY A**
IS THE
ONLY THING THAT'S
GOT THIS
BLACK NARCISSIST
OFF MY BACK
SHE COULDN'T CARE LESS
AND I NEVER CARED MORE
SO THERE'S NO MORE
TO SAY ABOUT THAT
EXCEPT HOPE IS
A DANGEROUS THING
FOR A WOMAN
LIKE ME TO HAVE
HOPE IS
A DANGEROUS THING
FOR A WOMAN
WITH MY PAST
THERE'S A NEW
REVOLUTION
A LOUD EVOLUTION
THAT I SAW
BORN OF CONFUSION
AND QUIET COLLUSION
OF WHICH
MOSTLY I'VE KNOWN
A MODERN DAY WOMAN
WITH A WEAK
CONSTITUTION
'CAUSE I'VE GOT
MONSTERS STILL
UNDER MY BED
THAT I COULD
NEVER FIGHT OFF
A GATEKEEPER
CARELESSLY
DROPPING THE KEYS
ON MY NIGHTS OFF
I'VE BEEN
TEARING AROUND
IN MY F**KING
NIGHTGOWN
TWENTY FOUR SEVEN
SYLVIA PLATH
WRITING IN BLOOD
ON YOUR WALLS
'CAUSE THE INK
IN MY PEN
DON'T LOOK GOOD
IN MY PAD
THEY WRITE
THAT I'M HAPPY
THEY KNOW THAT I'M NOT
BUT AT BEST YOU CAN
SEE I'M NOT SAD
BUT HOPE IS
A DANGEROUS THING
FOR A WOMAN
LIKE ME TO HAVE
HOPE IS
A DANGEROUS THING
FOR A WOMAN
LIKE ME TO HAVE
HOPE IS
A DANGEROUS THING
FOR A WOMAN
LIKE ME TO HAVE
BUT I HAVE
IT
YEAH I HAVE
IT
YEAH I HAVE
IT
I HAVE
