A REPAIR FAIR

I know you’re sored
Reacting to years and years of neglect
I know you’ve been bored
As your piercing cries have seen uncountable reject
You worked without your creeds and needs and feeds
Due to my deeds and greed without weeding your haunting weeds
So you go on a punishing route
And I’m left stagnated by your command
Even when life piles on demands


But you know
You do know the trajectory of my force
Girl you know
You do know the woes of my course
Oh you know
You do know the tears and fears which steered
…and still steer
You know the leers of peers and dears
…which geared
…and still gear
And you’re still on this punishing route
Leaving me rooted in your gripping command
Even when life piles on demands

I may have been a tyrant
Pushing with wishes without dishes in stitches
I may have been a neglectful suffrant
Threading emotional bushes with crashes and gushes
But you enjoy the fruits of it all
So you surely mustn’t cause a fall
Down by your command is rude
You know life piles and piles in ways so crude

So thaw your anger, for I am no stranger
Calm these nerves before we get to danger
We have wailed but bailed and sailed
We have recoiled and soiled and toiled
…but won many and have been hailed
So why do I have to see this blood so furious and boiled?

You’re me
I am you
There’s no me
…without a you
So why should we so crash
…bed prisoned in busy season?
Why should our wings fail
…in high rise with no tail?
Calm your anger
For I am no stranger
Let’s get to safety to root out all danger
We’re few years to freedom
Few years to get a queendom
So fix us to work in our best
With aims of beating daily, our past records in one accord
We’re here and must work fair
To save ourSelf from life’s despair
Body, mind and soul in a repair fair
