My
heartbeat slows,
I
left my thoughts on the floor
Last
night
For
no one to find
In
the strobe-light
Smoke-screen
Blanket
of modern noise
I
tried to hide
From
myself and everyone else
And
needless to say
It
worked
(that’s
what I tell them).
Intermittent
short-term
Accusations
Meet
the same response
In
repetition,
Shrug
and raise my arms
As
if they care what I tell them.
All
this practice makes it worse
To
bear,
Self-contained
Atlas in
My
own little world
Where
I play both
God
and Devil
Equally,
and they are equal.
Your
pity is my shame.
I
saw the half-spoken glances
And
the nods and gestures,
I
was made aware of
Your
discussions,
Your
judgements,
No
different than the
Pointing
fingers
Moving
lips that said
“Forever
lame”
(that’s
what she told me).
Once
upon a time
It
hurt to hear those
Sticks
and stones—
Time
never healed my wounds
But
at least I’m now
Immune
to almost
Everyone,
Not
myself.
Third
stop,
Let
go of the rail.
In
the cold and dark
At
the end
I
ran.
