Sad Girls

I'm going to be born again. 
My arms are groaning
as they grow.
Don't go.
You're gonna miss me
when you go. 
I found my crowd
floundering without you
but I still want you
I'll still have you.
I forget you
when I'm lying down
lost in my mother 
and all her sad songs
that she wrote down
Miss Sylvia P
her little latin daughter
with her daddy issues
and her flowery
happy endings
Jennifer J
our big sister
with the lips
and the cocaine heart
Lana D
I'm hanging with my sad girls
until you don't mean a thing to me.

Monster

Being self aware enough 
to say you are a monster
doesn't take away the fangs 
that you've sunk into my skin.
You're still a monster
even when you tell me
you're sorry.
