Just a normal tea/latte with poetry creamer and a pencil stir stick flowing out of my paper cup
My facade was so strong you called me. friend. I guess it was just meant to be a bitter end. But when your whole movie is made of sunshine and rainbows. It has to be violent for the sake of show. I spent so long in hiding like in bitter captivity. Pretending not to be lost in your pull like gravity. You made me smiley and all warm inside Lost on your letters trying to hide. But then i told you the truth trying to set myself free. Then you backed off and brached out like a tree. Your roots came up and we both went down. All i said was i love you but you didnt see it my way. The only thing you could think of was how to get rid of me now that you know im...gay.

Uprooted truth
Watch as we fly away The wings we grew to get out of this place

We left
Soap. Today I bathed in black water, Rinsed with the sewage we call society, and dried off in governmental regulations. You call yourselfs clean based on the record of your criminality and the color of your skin? You use a plastic kind of soap the produces no clean but like a camera it captures and preserves what's inside. So you can play bath time with your bubbles, pretending you own yourselves for a night, but after your bath comes bed time. You will wake up tomorrow and find your still owned by the government and, your soap was just plastic. So you need to bathe again. Don't forger to lather, rinse, and repeat. Chris burk
