I do not like here

Someplace better I desire
Someplace warm like fire
Someplace to chase my dream
Someplace where things grow green

Someplace where the people are nice
A place with less snow and ice
Someplace new I'd like to go
A place more theatrical, more like a show
Someplace where they stay up late
A place more modern like the Tate

I just want to get out of here
It feels so small
And tiny
Here.

I have begun a new chapter without you
I'm glad I burned you
I hope it makes you change
you need it
I know it
I quit
write one more
while you listen to this score
of your hero saying things
over a catchy beat

push yourself
see what you get
no regret

write more
as your toes touch the floor
and your fingers peck away
the day
into words
wrangle them like herds
into sentences
abstract
on track

is that
who i think it is
is this a quiz
don't question me
or the authority
i gave myself
that i keep on a shelf
next to my dignity

never done
loading my poetic gun
full of it
this ****
over and over
and over and over
polish brass and give it class
do some squats
earn that ***
and shake it 'til you make it
or fake it

just fake it
Go, go, go!
Get. Got.
Had.

I lost it.
****.

Stumble,
Fumble,
Mumble.

I love you.
Do you?
Yes, don't tell me how I feel.
Then be real.

I am. I is. I are.

Get in the car.
lets get out of here.

*No.
you have been giving me bitter cold kisses
that warm my heart
the kind that someone misses
the ones I've craved from the start

bitter cold kisses
I gave you everything
I gave you nothing
yet here you are
so close and so far
go away but please stay
I have nothing left to say.

— The End —
