I Wonder Why They Call It A Rest Room

Scratched the stall Yelled at me in sharpie From some non-washable preacher Spelling out the lives of others Or dictating to me My own existence Below pen wielding atheists Wittily drew back (or else not so) Scathing remarks In hen pecked hand My thoughts overwhelmed enveloped By the smell of vomit A wonder As to who decided They needed to drop Yet another five pounds this morning Scarred linoleum stairs up With odd Unpredictable faces Like ink blot tests Deciding upon sanity Sighing I dig into my pockets Grasping my own Trusty ink fed sward Adding in my sentiments ‘People without lives write on stalls’ Pondering for a moment What others will think when they read this As much as I am I am not a vandal It is as much art As this As much the same Sinking feeling That goes with the fact that I just want To be Heard I just want To be Me
