gone missing:


last seen
running
from
myself,

thanks to
having to
deal with
today's
society.

society
grooms us
to be
folks that
we aren't.

that's why i....
run from
them,

i know
who i am.

i am
a poet
with deep
intrusive
wounds
that need not
society's knife
to plunge
any deeper
into my
soul.

vital organs
deep
already.
