Routine

I want you so badly

But I am inconsistant

Oh my  pauper darling!

Sewer rat my friend!

Side-walk pennies!

Corner coffee cup!

Garbage truck my love!

You call it insanity!

Haha,

But it’s just poverty!

Shedding my skin again
Dust off my bones
Beginning again

Crawl out of the cocoon
See new light
I will spread my wings soon

Wake from hibernation
Wipe sleep from my eyes
I’m a whole new creation

Crack open the shell
Taste newly fallen rain
It is time I prevail

I was a flame you fed
and burned too brightly;
Until you smothered me to ashes

Sometimes sadness
Embraces me
Like an old friend
