Dear Poetry,
It’s been far too long since I’ve written you
and the reason I know this is because you’ve been banging on my door
everyday now for the past three months saying
“Where have you been?”
But I have been too busy dying over a job that couldn’t care less
if I walked out onto the streets and laid in the crosswalk.
I have spent too much time under fluorescent lights smelling like stale bread and mustard
to find the time to talk to you.
I have slaved on my days off only to be pushed down instead of raised
and told I am not worth fifty cents by a man who rapes me with his eyes.
Now, I know what yo

Do not

See the sky
Look at the sunset
Climb a mountain
Try something new
Do not show me what they see
Just do not
Be fearful
People will be against you
Try to make change and you will lose
You will lose
Unlike the books
This is depression
Understand it
Do not judge it
Just try and
Understand it

I have given every sacrifice bled, lost freedom, became a monster just to protect you
Used every skill in human condition which we both know I qualify as an expert. Staying in captivity top three fears of life ( number 1. Become a sandwich number 2. Spiders and number 3. Held captive for any reason if escape was possible!
I laid in a drug haze in the prettiest cage with the key in my hand
My mentor saying hold on the cages break all of them even if you lose the key.
One reason for all this
To prove my love for you is existential everlasting not able to lose not even if you accidentally smothered me to death!
So fuck you I won't die just

I bet you didn't see this one coming! 
I got this idea a while back when I was suposed to write a story for school...........Yes I titled my story this, and I made it 50 pages long (I wanted oringinally wanted to make it 500 pages long! But sanity intervened....) I almost turned it in, but then I wrote a more proper short story for the assignment. © 2012 - 2024 IRideAMagicalLadle
