Poems
May 2019
something honest
the truth is
i cannot be contained like that
i cannot be taught to like waterΒ
more than cranberry juice
i cannot pretend for decades upon decades
(years like soft footprints and malnourished
buzzards circling who i really am;
the whimsical part of me
decaying like neglected cavities)
that i enjoy self-discipline and growing muscle
i cannot cook healthy dinnersΒ
and go to sleep at reasonable hours
i will not wake up one morning
and be everything that you hoped for me to be
i tried holding myself very still for a while
i tried to like doing what iβm supposed to
and maybe i will someday
but it wonβt be because i loved you
