I learned how to curse in my mother’s womb
Words without meaning
Words which have lost all meaning
I would speak the taboo words of my youth
Never forgetting the romantic dreams in my head
Not realizing that they would never come true
Coming true is a reality only in one’s romantic dreams
And those only belong in the head
The taboo language which new words I would learn daily
From kids in school
People on the streets
The screaming I pretended not to hear
It only left me wanting to take
Everything could be possible if we all took something
But the taboo language was only spoken in my head
Next to the romantic dreams
The people who were my cuss teachers
Didn’t want to hang with a dreamer
So I continued to dream
And Continued to want to take
But finally realized
There’s no taking when you’re all alone
