Talking Back May 2019
I have
Taken being called the N-word hard er
Told that I don't belong
Taken that I am fat
my hair was not beautiful cause it was never long
Taken that I would never make it out of High school
My dream held no worth
That nobody wanted me here and that I should be gone

Despite all the hatred and spite gave to me
I refuse to return it.
Talking Back May 2019
Forever,
I will be the listening ear
But
When it comes for me to express my voice
No ears linger.
Always
Talking Back May 2019
I'm considerably lazy
but for my brothers
I would sprint in hellfire itself
if they ever needed their big sister

brave the tundra
if they told me they were sad
and travel from the moon
to hug them if they were lonely.

I would give them the world if I could
but
I can only give them my heart
Even though they are already living pieces of it
Talking Back May 2019
Once emotional ties are formed
I am gone once more
I don't think
I have stayed long enough in my seat
To even rest

on to the next
state
country
emotional adventure.

Tegan
I think I have been sad for so long,
That I don't know how to be anything else.
Talking Back May 2019
I long
For a Home
That I have never known

Much like a hound
longs for a bone

Home oh home
Where are you?
