I
Want to
Be
Beneath you
Pulling you down
For me to step
Higher onto your ledge,
So I can scream down at you.
So you can feel how it feels to be me.
I
Want to occupy
Your vacant space
To show you
What it feels like
To be beneath
And hate.
I
Want to cut you
Into bite size pieces
And paste
You on the bottom
Upside down
Suspended and
Begging for help
But not getting it…
Until you’ve had enough
Or I’ve had enough
And finally reach down
And pull you up
And put you back together
And hold you
And kiss you
And look you in the eye and say
“See?”

i have
to be
kicked,
pulled down,
dragged out,
shoved,
bumped,
squeezed,
rammed,
and broken
to change.

it must be time to change.

i needed to feel
beautiful
today?

Quick
Skillful haste
Be ready
Sharp and eager
Move and
Divide
Move and
Decide
Move or
Die

winter has come
empting your nests
exposing bone
revealing weakness.
as the rot of cold
sets in, the birds
flee your
ribbed cages,
taking with them
their songs, and
leaving behind
your desire to escape.

— The End —
