"Big girls don't cry” (title inspired by Matti Davis rendition of this song)

Punishment is easy
when it comes
to little ole
me

Only emotion that 
seems to have 
permanent residency: abandonment 

Beating my flesh 
isn't difficult 'cause 
I've learned to 
turn off all 
emotion Im used
to being gotten 
rid of: released

My insides have 
given up on 
the idea : hope

Some expectations of 
what someone else 
wanted me to 
be have not 
been lived up
to at all 
personal: comedic tragedy 

Consciously I don't
know how to
let you be 
in control of 
all that is 
now called: me 

No words seal
the relinquishing of 
power to an 
unknown spirit: force 

For years Ive 
punished myself for
having breathe a 
decision I don't 
get to decided
I didn't choose
my faith its
been left up 
to Olofi-(God) 
No punishment there
this invisible entity
that I am 
told is supposed 
to know me 
simply: "Loves Me"
