It's true
It's me

I have so much shame
Shame wrapped around me like a leaden blanket
How can I ever…

All I have are my tears
Just water
Just oceans
Deep and numb

Just humiliation

At the beginning, there's the spider
Six legs
Body
Red hourglass
My head was turned
I was on the bed

Help me understand

I'm the charmer
All people know is that they hate me
Hate me for charming

Help

Help
I know who I am

Close my eyes
I don't want to hurt you
Close my mouth
I don't want to hurt you

But please
Close my ears…

Why can I hear you
Wanting me?
Why are you using this body
This human body
To hurt
The jealous?
To hurt me?
To hurt…
Who are you?

I am me and I am here. I just read your cry of fear. Is it real? Is it sincere? Then it will, poetry be, my dear.
