Choking on Stepfive (Vulnerable and Sorry)

by OkSayer

h a n d i n g over the grave, just to snatch your attention lies upon li es and m o r e l ies spaced in between yelling: 'I'm still here!' with anger towards thing included in such matrimony and forgiveness expectations over the grave everyone is exactly the same i am not a privilege and don't deserve you, or you or you (or you) patience gone, over the grave they think it's so easy finding somewhere to belong and it is easy but i chose the hard way (i'm still here) aided by loneliness, (why are you crying) i am crying too with stepfive: Self acceptance and forgiveness falling down the grave, over the other graves sucked in by the simple beauty of it all all around me is a painting sometimes grey, or blue sometimes all hidden in little boxes, getting quieter...and quieter mixed in with style breathing in, and out to remember i'm human like the rest of you so much worse, so much better i'm still here, and vulnerable as i hear you breathe in, and out, turned around your head feeding stepfive to me but i can swallow as i am the one who needs my choke myself on self-acceptance and forgiveness not for one thing, but for many, but most of all you and all the sighs released are my oxygen my beautiful, my gorgeous work of art, why do you throw me over the grave? I'm still here, vulnerable, and sorry, choking on stepfive (looking at you)
