All the while

What do I do with this pain?

Should I rip it from within me and

stick it in a blender?

Toss it aside and let it grow while

it destroys itself?

Take my longing and misplace it!

Someone will find it and make a better

host anyway.

I am not good company, not even to loneliness.

Perhaps it will feel neglected and leave on

its own accord.

But when it does I’ll chase it down

and beg it to give me one more chance.

Because nothing makes me feel

more alive...

more human.
