City by Sara Bareilles

guitar

your nuance
(every word)
i feel it

tearing open
my half-healed scars
(every time)

they dress themselves
in glue and stone

and shred my love
to pieces--

my ripped up paper heart--

i have become
a second

class citizen,
lacking solidly in love.

it's time for a shower.

no one cares...
i know
when i finally sing

i will sing loud
up there on stage

and i will play
and put myself together

and

they will hear me

they will feel me

at last.
all those sorry pieces
i took apart
in kindergarten

might actually mean something...
once again.

they rip apart my sacred heart.
