find my poems
in a hundred years
and analyze them
as though they are written
in a foreign language
from a foreign time
full of foreign ideas
and words
analyze the way i say
i'm sad
"the darkness outside
spills into my empty room
on a body
wracked with sorrow
but too proud to cry"
analyze the idea
that everything i write
means something else
and i am not just
too lazy for prose
interpret me needing to talk
as me creating allusions
say to my face that when i said
"i'm happy"
it was sarcastic irony that reflected
my inner turmoil
analyze my poem
that is free therapy
to mean something
i wrote just for you
it speaks to you because
my word choice
was simple
every day
it speaks to you because
my alliteration is
totally
on purpose
it speaks to you because
literary terms
speak to you
more than some words
that meant
"i'm sad"
analyze me
and look past my struggles
that don't fit your agenda
analyze me
i am poetry
my soul is poured out
in each of these lines
each letter is me
so analyze me
like one of your french girls
make me beautiful
make me something that is
not
desperate poetry
make me you
