  • Noisy B!tch

let’s get a couple things straight 

I might as well go ahead and say it

and I ain’t asking if it’s okay

it’s a truth that just can’t wait

I’m sure some of y’all will relate 

 

if you’re looking for my silence…

keep it moving

you won’t find it here

not from a mouth forced to remain mute

making excuses for every bruise…

and bearing the scars of others actions

 

holding it all in for the sake of appearance

covering it up…

because they don’t want to hear it

I’m not here by invitation

I’m making my own way in

no more quietly waiting

 

no…those days are long gone

well, maybe not so long

but definitely gone

 

I’m no longer hiding it all away

opening curtains to release the shame

closing the door on carrying their pain

I’d like to see them carry the weight

I’m claiming my bad bitch…as of today

 

I’m done masking my trauma

simply to make others more comfortable 

tired of wearing a smile…

when I’m anything but fine

not even trying to stuff it all back inside

 

I played that role longer than is safe

it took too big a toll

broke me down further than before 

and the energy required…

to rebuild and rewire…

I can’t even begin to describe…

 

it’s a monumental task

and nobody ever seems to ask

“are you okay?”

 

I’m a badass starting today

or maybe I’ve always been that way…

 

if you’re tired of hearing it…

try living it

so stay and listen…

or just walk away

honestly…it makes no difference 

after all the years locked in a bottle…

I’m having my say

until I’ve had enough
