Steal the Lake From the Water - Adult Mom

Call it what you want

I see myself under water

You call drowning swimming

As you watch me swallow water

Forget what I said

I emerge wet and screaming bloody murder And you might say I make myself

Into a marginal victim

A baby crying hard until I get what I want But there is a friction between

What I want and what I need

And it is clear that I must scream

So I paddle harder

Pain exists in ways you inflict

The breaks you can’t solder

Write about me

Live in your own world of hurt

Steal the lake from the water

And I’ll conflate the ones who Made me feel a part of their system Every

screaming man gets what He wants and doesn’t know the difference Between what

he wants and thinks he needs And I always find myself to be

The loving martyr

I’m screaming like thunder
