It was over yesterday
it was over this morning
it’s been over every day this week.
 

I went to the store
I bought his favorite foods
so he’d stop eating away at my dreams.
 

and I’m begging for quiet
I'm pretending I'm peaceful
but I plead with the forces for one more fight.


I’m aching for conflict
I call for corrections
I plead with the voices 
stop trampling, stop trampling, 
stop trampling my mind.
It's my mind.
 

I was waiting for him 
waiting for me
neither of us came.

Creating someone
berating what’s done
Can’t we share the blame?

Breaking rivers 
stealing oceans
scratching out the sky
I took my turn
my skin began to burn
the same thing left to learn
same thing left to learn. 
 

I woke up yesterday
I woke up this morning
I woke up every day this week.

and I’m practicing patience
calculating my wisdom
and I plead with the forces—no more fights.

Breaking rivers 
stealing oceans
scratching out the sky
I take my turn
my skin begins to burn
the same thing left to learn
same thing left to learn.
 

same thing left to learn
same thing left to learn
same thing left to learn.
