A Minor

A Poem by Dina

I loved him, and he loved his addiction. I was his codependent. And I was dependent on his need for me.

That girl needs therapy.
That girl needs therapy.
That girl needs therapy.
Come quickly, that girl needs therapy.
Can't you see she's all who she can be.
She see's things that no one cares to see.
Poor girl needs therapy.
Oh God, She's scaring me...

(Tempo Switch..)

This boat is rocking far out of control.
I took the bottle far out of this room.
How come you keep getting so filled with booze?
Only to ask me why I've got the blues.

Here's the news:

Half the time, I wonder why I stay.
(Okay.)
Would things be different if you couldn't f**k this way?
(F**k this thing)
Slave to you, I'm amazed how I behave.
All because your tolerance is higher than my pa-tience.

Little man, I'm fond of you.
But there are things you oughta do.
Like face the demons, and maybe clean up, and maybe hold off on the shrooms.
Redirection, change the rooms.
Ask me to try on your shoes.
There's no need, I empathize.
I only see through my third eye.
I'm oh so simple,
And I'll get high if you'll feel less alone..

Take me, demonize me.
Hang me, terrorize me.
Blind me, say you love me.
You'll be better soon.
Lie and hypnotize me.
False advertisement.
Wet and swollen eyes.
He'll be better soon..

(Tempo Change..)

I guess I'll be cleaning this room again.
It's the way I get my mind off everything.
Here's a hard truth, let's sweep it under the bed.
Along with all the bodies and the torn off heads.
I'm my inner child.
I hide behind false smiles.
Never got a chance to be the woman you wanted.
Should've went to therapy..but s**t was expensive.
In debt to your gluttony.
The poor man trusted me,
But did he even care to see what he had made of me.

Married to a bottle, while a teddy bear I hold.
Oh so cold.
Oh so cold,
Oh so cold.
So cold.
Ts' a cold, cold world.

I liked this a lot, the theme is very clear and your phrasing is wonderful! The only constructive criticism I can think of is that it's maybe a little on the long side, but you don't necessarily have to change that, it's entirely up to you! Keep up the good work!
