Anonymous and Androgynous

What did you expect me to be? You swaddled me in thorned roses and put me to bed with a knife behind your back Gentle and kind were never going to be my first words But I learned them, I learned them like you never did The defiance you bred within me was the same defiance I used to escape the shell you molded me into I hope you can see me now Your evil efforts meant nothing

I’ll pretend I didn’t hear what happened upstairs Or in the kitchen Or on the porch I’ll keep my socks on to soften the noise Every step I take begs me to go back to my bed I knew what I would find would just do more damage But I needed to know Needed to know why this house remains without a heart All we have is the skeleton

If you’re going to be destructive, do it purposefully Tear it down Not everything you’ve built needs to stand And not everything you’ve sacrificed is justified Destroy purposefully
