Lzzy Hale Instagram – Opposite Brain
Poem by Lzzy Hale
Art by Eve Bluefoot
I have an opposite brain
Let me try to explain
Food makes me tired
No sleep makes me hyper
Weed makes me manic
The simplest things send me into a panic
I have an opposite view
I see people right through
If your ugly on the inside
You have no beauty on the outside
Doesn’t matter how good you hide
The truth always roots out the lies
I have an opposite heart
If it breaks it feels content
Like home, warm in my bed
Cuz I’m so used to being broken
It’s painful to put myself back together again
I’ve got an opposite choice
I have only one Voice
The more use it the clearer and louder it gets
My body is a weapon
I choose Not to destroy, even though I can
I choose to use my pen, and not a podium
A map written on the back of my hand
Coded in a secret language
That only my people will understand
I will create a sanctuary for the downtrodden
A safe space where all are welcome
And when my time has come
when my bell is rung
I will Pass the torch through the songs I’ve sung
And leave this blue planet
A little better than I found it.
