i wish i were out of the doors,
half savage and hardy and free;
laughing at the injuries,
not maddening under them.
scared of the demons without,
and never find them hovering within.
never feeling like a shadow
even when i was halfway home...
i wish i were a girl again
and not this wanton woman of the world...
i wish chocolates were all;
and there was no room for
cigarettes or weed or rum.
wish that nights were for sleeping
and not catering to some twisted thoughts
spinning around in this wasted head.
wish that Alice was in Wonderland...
and not in some Mills 'n' Boons...
wish that the heart could stop finding
new and gory reasons for breaking apart...
why does my blood rush into tumults
at a few spoken, unspoken words?
why do i run 'round the globe
finding places to find some peace?
why am i so changed?
why am i not that girl anymore,
who loved the sun and colors?
why do dark and pain appeal?
WHY this wanton woman of the world?
